Eve Isn't Evil

Feminist Readings of the Bible to Upend Our Assumptions

By: Julie Faith Parker

Narrated by: Julie Faith Parker

One reason the Bible has endured for millennia is its ability to reach our common humanness and give uplifting insights about struggle, resilience, and hope. Intertwining academic knowledge and candid, personal, and sometimes humorous stories, Julie Faith Parker helps listeners engage biblical texts with both mind and heart—to learn the Bible's stories, explore theological ideas, question common assumptions, develop interpretive skills, and grow in their own faith.

The title chapter demonstrates how feminism interprets the Bible with fresh eyes and offers empowering insights, an approach used in the rest of the book. In each chapter, Parker reads biblical texts through a feminist lens. The book discusses both neglected and well-known Old Testament passages with one chapter on the New Testament. Parker's reflections show how vital our readings of the Bible can be as a source of strength, guidance, and joyful defiance.

Additional features include questions for conversation or reflection and an overview of the entire Bible, summarizing each book in one line.

Enlightening!

This is a serious deep scholarly work infused with passion for the history, Church, and the Bible. Dr Parker brings light to Biblical Studies by helping us better understand the original texts as she translates them (literally!) with skillful interpretation. Her outstanding knowledge of multiple languages makes this book academically significant while personal and family parallelism engages readers throughout the journey. Looking forward to reading her next masterpiece.

A Delightful Invitation Into the Bible

Parker’s new book, Eve Isn’t Evil, is a wonderful scholarly yet personal invitation to consider the Bible stories we thought we knew in a new way. Insights, mixed with humor, are fascinating and fun. It is a holy experience that lingers.

One of my favorites

This book is incredible! I am going to do a book study and sermon series on it! The reading sounds like a podcast and it’s a very engaging book to listen to.
