Synopsis: The Routledge Companion to Eve is a comprehensive and interdisciplinary collection which explores the history of interpretation that surrounds Eve’s character in both religious writings and cultural texts. The primary themes discussed in the volume include the religious, historical, and cultural ideologies that have influenced interpretations of Eve, as well as the cultural impact of these interpretations on gender identities and injustices. Chapters trace the evolution of Eve’s interpretive history from ancient biblical texts up to the present day. The contributors engage with both traditional modes of inquiry in text-based religious research as well as the newer fields of reception history and cultural criticism to explore the rich history of interpretation and reception surrounding Eve, as well as the cultural and historical impact these interpretations have had on women’s religious and social lives across space and time. The Routledge Companion to Eve is an original and important collection which will equip readers to begin their own explorations of Eve’s extraordinary legacy. It will be an invaluable resource for scholars of Gender Studies, Biblical Studies, Theology, Religion and Gender, Literary Studies, History of Art, and Cultural Studies.
