“…Our blackness as African women does not take away our femininity; hence, many womanist theologians argue from the perspective that feminism and Womanism are sisters as asserted by Alice Walker (cf. Byron & Lovelace, 2016). I do not subscribe to disagreements and distortions within this discourse, I concur with Mazama's view on using these terms interchangeably while I acknowledge and respect diversities and multiplicities of African cultures and femininity.…”

“…Lastly, Gafney reiterates Walker's own words as cited above, "Womanist is to feminism as purple is to lavender" (cf. Byron & Lovelace, 2016;Gafney, 2017;Nolas-Alausa, 2012;Izgarjan & Markov, 2013). Ama Mazama in her Afrocentric Paradigm identifies Womanism which she also refers to as Africana Womanism, black feminism or African Womanism as a theory within the broader Afrocentric discourse focusing on the woman.…”

This work provides a brief introduction to feminist interpretation of scripture. Feminist interpretation is first grounded in feminism as an intellectual and political movement. Next, this introduction briefly recounts the origins of feminist readings of the Bible with attention to both early readings and the beginnings of feminist biblical scholarship in the academy. Feminist biblical scholarship is not a single methodology, but rather an approach that can shape any reading method. As a discipline, it began with literary-critical readings (especially of the Hebrew Bible) but soon also broached questions of women’s history (especially in the New Testament and Christian origins). Since these first forays, feminist interpretation has influenced almost every type of biblical scholarship. The third section of this essay, then, looks at gender archaeology, feminist poststructuralism and postcolonial readings, and newer approaches informed by gender and queer theory. Finally, it ends by examining feminist readings of Eve.
