This unique and imaginative work is grounded in serious scholarship and will expand conversations about feminist and womanist biblical interpretation.

When the stress becomes too much on a royal tour of the other nine nations of Temmeland, Sheva's husband suggests the twins change places temporarily. They've done this before, innocently and just for fun when they were kids, but can they carry it off now, as adults in public?

Book excerpt: This volume treats the interrelationship between Judaism and Christianity from the first centuries and into modern times, paying particular attention to these faithsa (TM) social, cultural, and theological interactions.
