Brenner-Idan examines and reads these four `visual texts’ together and against each other in order to show what is common between them and to show how biblical tropes and themes are used in the telling of these stories. Brenner-Idan identifies several unifying themes, which form the basis of her discussion: dystopia/utopia; issues of location, place, and space; the dominance of female characters; the presence of a key male-female partnership; the importance of knowledge, the process of its acquisition, maintenance, influence and use or abuse. Brenner-Idan reads these elements alongside, and into, the relevant biblical texts examining encounters with the divine in the Bible, social conventions in the Bible and biblical ideologies of knowledge and power.
Athalya Brenner-Idan is Professor Emerita of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament at the Universiteit van Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and currently teaches Biblical Studies in the Department of Hebrew Culture Studies, Tel Aviv University, Israel. In addition, she is Extraordinary Professor at the Department of Old Testament/New Testament, Faculty of Theology, Stellenbosch University, South Africa. In 2015 she served as President of the Society of Biblical Literature.
