Alexandra Chubachi’s Reviews > I Found God in Me: A Womanist Biblical Hermeneutics Reader > Status Update

Some characteristics of classical midrash that I employ as a womanist biblical scholar include: ...filling in spaces in the text, and providing names for characters for whom the text provides no name. Doing midrash as a womanist means… Attending to marginalized and missing women in the text, attending to other submerged and marginalized characters in the text, naming violence against women and children in the text

This volume is a declaration that gods image is not monochromatic nor is God’s voice monotone. God is a colorful God who loves equally the many colors she creates. God speaks in tunes and tones that resonate with the oppressed and marginalized, particularly with the lived experiences of black women and other women of color.
