Wilda C. Gafney
Womanist Midrash is an in-depth and creative exploration of the well- and lesser-known women of the Hebrew Scriptures. Using her own translations, Gafney offers a midrashic interpretation of the biblical text that is rooted in the African American preaching tradition to tell the stories of a variety of female characters, many of whom are often overlooked and nameless. Gafney employs a solid understanding of womanist and feminist approaches to biblical interpretation and the sociohistorical culture of the ancient Near East. This unique and imaginative work is grounded in serious scholarship and will expand conversations about feminist and womanist biblical interpretation.

For the audiobook listener: this book has been on my TBR for longer than I'd care to admit, and the audiobook made it possible for me to finally finish it. It's a difficult book to read aloud, and Dr. Gafney reads it well. However, there are some clear editing and production flaws - phrases and words that are repeated as different tonation was tried (but both tries are kept in); odd pauses in places (often in the middle of a chapter or section, occasionally in the middle of a paragraph) that left me wondering if my audiobook had stopped playing; a lack of pauses in other places (occasionally between chapters or sections, running the two together). These editing audio flaws could have been *easily* fixed with a bit of audio cropping, and stand out as badly as typos in a printed work. The result feels like a rough draft that was accidentally published instead of the professional work I have come to anticipate from Dr. Gafney. Her production studio really let her down. Voice timbre changes regularly, especially in the first part of the book, and the long lists of scriptural citations grew wearisome as I listened on long drives with no way to reference them, but these are nitpicky critiques - I wish I had been aware of them beforehand, so I include them in the review, but they're understandable given the material and the circumstances.
