Beavis, Mary Ann. “‘Like yeast that a woman took’: feminist interpretations of the parables.” Review & Expositor 109, no. 2 (March 1, 2012): 219-231.
In this article, Mary Ann Beavis introduces feminist interpretations
of Jesus’ parable of the yeast (Matthew 13:33). By exploring the work of
various feminist-liberationist scholars, Beavis invites the reader to
understand the parable through the lens of the life and work of women in the
time of Jesus. Significantly, the article provides an alternative hermeneutic
for recovering the meaning of Jesus’ message of the Kingdom of God in
unexpected ways. For example, she highlights how Holly Hearon and Antoinette
Clark Wire interpret two of Jesus’ parables “with the awareness that they
describe the activities that take up much of the time of poor women in the
‘three-fourths world’ today, as they did for the women of Jesus’ time.”[1] Accordingly,
these two liberationist feminists demonstrate how one might interpret and apply
the meaning of Jesus’ parables in a manner more in tune with the experience of
women during New Testament times.
