The Laughter of Sarah
Biblical Exegesis, Feminist Theory, and the Concept of Delight
Language: English
Release Date: September 5, 2013
The laughter of delight has gone unheard in the Western tradition. This work brings new light to the notion, and has a consistent leitmotif: the delighted laughter of the matriarch Sarah in the book of Genesis, when she gives birth to her son Isaac. This laughter is "heard" through biblical commentaries and twentieth-century theorists of laughter.
