De la contraportada

"Ochs offers readers a rare treat--fine scholarship combined with inspirational connections to life in the modern world."--Jewish Book World

"With warmth, erudition, and a very contemporary sensibility, Ochs offers reflections on the lives of Old Testament matriarchs that should appeal to women across religious lines."--Publishers Weekly

In this vivid collection, religious scholar Vanessa Ochs brings the legends of the biblical matriarchs to new life using her own form of midrash, a creative but scholarly reinterpretation of sacred works that puts flesh and bones on the original.
