ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a number of insights shared by critics of New Testament antisemitism and sexism. Jews as well as women have been the victims of the dualities, and often have been derogated for similar qualities. Feminists insist that the language of the text be taken seriously. Using male terms for God is meaningful and changes the relation of women to the divine. Male terms do not constitute a general reference but specifically exclude women. Changing the reading of texts is related to changing everyday speech as far as a program of education is concerned. This is hard. As we know from the progress of feminism, there is a continuum between pasting a sign reading "This ad insults women" on offending billboards and the reinterpretation of great literature. Looking for the origins of inequality or discrimination is a problematic task, for women and for Jews.
