That fact creates specific challenges to modern interpreters of gender roles in the ancient world, especially once contemporary understandings of gender as construction and performance are embraced. In Gender and Second-Temple Judaism, world-renowned scholars take on these challenges with regard to ancient Judaism (here including early Christianity and early rabbinic Judaism as well), at once examining the ancient evidence and quite consciously addressing difficult methodological questions regarding gender. Taken together, these chapters further complicate discussions of the construction of identity (e.g., “who is a Jew?”) by inflecting them with questions of gender construction as well. Scholars of ancient Judaism and of gender alike will find much to grapple with in these pages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGender and Second Temple Judaism: Challenges and Possibilities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShayna Sheinfeld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The Brooten Phenomenon”: Moving Women from the Margins in Second-Temple and New Testament Scholarship\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSara Parks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWomen Itinerants, Jesus of Nazareth, and Historical-Critical Approaches: Reevaluating the Con-sensus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmy-Jill Levine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul, the Man: Enigmatic Images\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKathy Ehrensperger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Pain to Redemption: 1 Timothy 2:15 in its Jewish Context\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSarah E.G.
