The Earth Story in Wisdom Traditions

Is the Earth capable of raising its voice against injustice? Is this voice heard in Wisdom literature? How?Ecofeminist readings in this volume emphasize the suppression of women's voices and voices of the Earth, while other essays invite the reader to celebrate how creation is central to the book of Job and how the song of songs calls us to celebrate Earth. The writers highlight the importance of Wisdom being portrayed as a woman in a patriarchal world and the relationship of Wisdom to the Earth. This book challenges readers to be in tune with the Earth and the many voices that speak.
