Elusions of Control

by Jione Havea

Published 17 November 2003

Using experiences of South Pacific islanders, Havea reads around and across biblical texts to explore women's vows in the Hebrew Bible, exposing the slippery nature of both language and political control and demonstrating a "transtextual" way to read biblical law.
