Review Quotes:
'there are some very stimulating and provocative readings of biblical passages and themes presented here.' - Modern Believing January 2000
'A book that will be very helpful in interdisciplinary settings where scholars explore the many different ways biblical notions of the End have been - and still are being - presented.' - Fred W. Burnett, Religious Studies Review. 'Tina Pippin draws on her own Southern background, a wonderful literary flair, and her strong feminist perspective ... her thoughtful presentation deserves serious consideration.' - The Bible Today 'Pippin's readings in this book are both engaging and engaged. She brings together a wealth of material and offers refreshing new insights and challenging interpretations ... [her] work merits attantion not only from exegetes or theologians, but from anyone interested in the influence of the Bible on Western culture and in The End.' - Caroline Vander Stichele, Women, Ritual and Liturgy
