“…Within feminist scholarship on the Gospels and Acts, particular directions for exploration vary widely. In many cases, such scholarship focuses on a particular Gospel, examining how Matthew (Botha 2003;Weaver 2010;Clements 2014;Pillay 2015), Mark (Mitchell 2001;Dewey 2006;Cadwallader 2008;Betsworth 2010;Kim 2010;Aernie 2018;Connolly 2018;Lyons-Pardue 2020), Luke (Elvey 2005; F. S. Spencer 2013;Forbes and Harrower 2015;Dale 2017), or John (Lee 2002;Beirne 2003; J. K. Jones 2008;Kearney 2017) individually portray the women in their respective accounts. However, beyond this focus on a particular part of the canon, this otherwise vast body of work might be loosely categorized by the methodological approaches of its practitioners.…”

This article provides an overview of feminist approaches to the New Testament from the period of 2000 to early 2021. Using a broad definition of ‘feminist’ (to include virtually any work focused primarily on women or female issues presented in the biblical text) and a more stringent definition of ‘New Testament’ (including only those texts that are a part of the New Testament canon, but not larger socio-historical studies or extracanonical literature), the article offers an overview of trends in feminist scholarship on the Gospels and Acts, the Pauline epistles, the General Epistles and Hebrews, and Revelation, noting that this body of scholarship may be characterized as being diverse, collaborative, and centered on female characters within the New Testament texts. With open vistas for exploration remaining, the article forecasts a rich future for feminist approaches to the New Testament.

This article situates recent scholarship related to children and metaphors of childhood within a global context. It attends to the importance of childist criticism, located primarily in Europe and the United States, in the growth of study of children in the New Testament in recent decades, while attending to parallel work on the role of children in the New Testament, particularly in relation to contextualized readings, in the global South. Specific attention is given to the use of language in defining children and childhood both within and outside the biblical context; overviews of biblical childhood; and the roles and representations of children in New Testament texts. The essay concludes by looking forward to future opportunities for research and collaboration.
