Per
your note to FEMINIST.COM,
I don't have information specific
to American feminists rewriting
the Bible. Personally, I don't
think it's a re-writing that
we need, but different predominant
interpretations. I don't think
feminists see the Bible as the
problem, but the Vatican's biased
interpretation of the Bible.
To learn more about these possibilities,
I suggest that you reference
the following:
1.) The Chalice and the Blade:
Our History, Our Future
by Riane T. Eisler
2.) When God Was a Woman
by Merlin Stone
3.) Gospel According to Woman:
Christianity's Creation of the
Sex War in the West and
A History of God: The 4000
Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity
and Islam, both by Karen
Armstrong. She's British, but
because "the bible" cuts across
nationality, I think her work
is probably applicable to your
search.
In addition to these books,
you should also look in the
the Union Theoligical Seminary
and Auburn Theological Seminary.
Both are located in New York
City and both have feminist
theologians who have certainly
explored the topice of "the
Bible" from a feminist perspective.
