-Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, author of Midrash: Reading the Bible with Question Marks and many children's books, including Noah's Wife and But God Remembered: Stories for Women from Creation to the Promised Land In an accessible and comprehensive way, Lynne Bundesen weaves together linguistic knowledge, insightful exegesis, history of interpretation, and feminist biblical scholarship to reveal feminine spirit-the female divine and the divine female-from Genesis to Revelation.
