ABSTRACT
For feminists working within Christian traditions, it is necessary to articulate models for biblical hermeneutics which are not only feminist but also can be related to theological frameworks. This task is problematized by the thoroughgoing nature of feminist critique, which both philosophically and theologically is required to rescript its own landscapes. To achieve this goal, the author engaged in dialogue with two important feminist biblical interpreters, namely Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza and Phyllis Trible. Since each works within different paradigms, this enabled significantly different questions and explorations to take place with respect to each. At the meta-level, although Schüssler Fiorenza and Trible operate with very distinctive methodologies, it was nevertheless possible to articulate a hermeneutic frame which embraced both. The primary principles of interpretation advocated were those of remembrance and destabilization.
