Daughter Zion Talks Back to the Prophets A Dialogic Theology of the Book of Lamentations Carleen R. MandolfoSociety of Biblical Literature, 2007ISBN 9781589832473 Softcover, 160 pp.6.0 X 0.37 X 9.0 inches | 0.54 pounds Daughter Zion Talks Back to the Prophets offers a new theological reading of the book of Lamentations by putting the female voice of chapters 1-2 into dialogue with the divine voice of prophetic texts in which God represents the people Israel as his wife and indicts them/her for being unfaithful to him. In Lam 1-2 we hear the wife talk back, and from her words we get an entirely different picture of the conflict showcased through this marriage metaphor. Mandolfo thus presents a feminist challenge to biblical hegemony and patriarchy and reconstrues biblical authority to contribute to the theological concerns of a postcolonial world.
