Laura Levitt, Journal of Ecumenical Studies, 1994.
'The authors maintain separate identities...the writing is lucid and the approach sophisticated, and there is a lot of fine exegesis.'

Arian Verheij, Bibliotheca Orientalis, 1994.
'This is a valuable addition to biblical studies from a feminist point of view, a stimulating corrective to traditional reading with a male-dominated and filtered viewpoint.'
Leona Glidden Running, Andrews University Seminary Studies.
'Die Studie stellt aufgrund ihres genderspezifischen Ansatzes einen wichtigen Beitrag zur rezeptionsorientierten Exegese dar.'
