• W2920845554 abstract "Reviewed by: 1–2 Timothy, Titus by Annette Bourland Huizenga Teresa J. Hornsby annette bourland huizenga, 1–2 Timothy, Titus (Wisdom Commentary 53; Collegeville, MN: Liturgical Press, 2016). Pp. lii + 207. $39.95. To be honest, I did not expect to like this book. Perhaps it is because these texts have been used for centuries to justify sexist and patriarchal hierarchies. However, Annette Bourland Huizenga does an excellent job identifying, analyzing, explaining, and, I would argue, seeking to emancipate these texts. I say “emancipate” because the Pastorals have been held captive by those who seek to use them as justifications for defining women solely by their reproductive processes, for framing church leadership as wholly masculine, and for ostracizing anyone who exists outside whatever is deemed to be a normative household. While H. cannot undo what is written or repair the damage the Pastoral Epistles have done, she gives the reader strong tools with which to find strengths that they offer to the faithful, in spite of what they do and have done: they have elevated the social status of free men, and they have reinforced subordination of women, children, and slaves (p. 181). Though she cannot make these texts completely palatable for faithful feminist readers (she is not a magician, after all), H. seeks to provide the historical contexts and linguistic possibilities to help make the work less opaque and, in places, more malleable. In the “Author’s Introduction,” she explains that her goal is to meet these texts head on with no pretense about “saving” them, or rendering them ineffectual. Rather, H. seeks to provide an occasion for a deeper engagement, to “wrestle openly” with all of the negative consequences that have been brought about by the gendered kyriarchy of the pseudonymous author who, through a claim of divine authority, has wrought dismissal, abuse, and devaluation for women and has bolstered institutional racism for centuries. One of the strongest aspects of this book, and indeed of the entire Wisdom Commentary series, is that it brings in exegetical comments from a host of contemporary Bible scholars. For example, we see this in H.’s handling of the particularly misogynist passage 1 Tim 2:11–15, which asserts that women may not speak in the assembly, may not teach men, and will find salvation through childbearing in spite of Eve’s transgression. H. brings in Eh Tar Gay (pp. 20–24) to speak of her experiences as a Christian woman in Myanmar. Gay responds to 1 Tim 2:11–15 from her lived experiences and observes how her community there reflects and contextualizes the Pastor’s remarks. Briefly, Gay’s assertion is that those Pastoral comments reflect cultural standards, and not only do cultural standards change in time, but those changes are mandated by community. She notes that even the Pastor’s social mores have shifted from Paul’s own statements concerning veiling, teaching, and the origin of sin (attributing that to Adam, not Eve; cf. Rom. 5:12). In addition to bringing in the voices of other scholars, H. adds extremely helpful notes [End Page 531] regarding Greek translations. In the example above (1 Tim 2:11–15), she offers information on the Greek phrase (ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ), which is translated as “silence” in 2:11 and as “to keep silent” in 2:12. Her comments here are thought-provoking; the term has a second meaning: “stillness,” “rest,” or “calm” (p. 25). H. notes that Plutarch uses this term to instruct male students the proper way to show respect to a teacher. Finally, certainly aware of the enormity of the task at hand, that is, to make the Pastoral Letters palatable to our own progressive sensibilities, H. concludes this: My intent has been to offer meaningful historical contextualizations and analyses of the Pastorals’ instruction so that preachers, teachers, and engaged students of the Bible might gain deeper understandings of the world of the author and then join the struggle to handle these letters with integrity for our own times. (p. 184) Through the provision of thoughtful and informed commentary, through the inclusion of lived experiences of international Christians grappling with this Scripture, and through masterful attention to specific translation matters, H. has produced..." @default.
