At the time, it was very shocking because I had been raised as a fundamentalist Christian. I'd never heard anyone question the bible before, and here this author was laying it all out and calling out the text for the sexism found there. I must say that that class, including this book (although I'm sure that was not the intent), really opened my eyes and paved the way for me leaving Christianity completely.

Weems's pioneering study explores the puzzling ways in which the Hebrew prophets' portrayals of divine love, compassion, and conventional commitment often became associated with battery, infidelity, and the rape and mutilation of women. She wrestles with the prophets' rhetoric and sexual metaphors to uncover Israelite social structures, asking, "What is implied about women, men, and God by the language that the prophets use to describe the covenant between Yahweh and Israel?" This provocative work by a leading African American biblical scholar delves deeply into issues of intimacy and power, violence and control, seduction and betrayal, and is a searing indictment of the axial points of Israelite religion—its covenantal and prophetic traditions—and their authority today.
