This book investigates gender and gender differences in the 7 'Catholic' books of the NSRV Bible. Following the layout of its predecessor Gender in the Bible, it begins by outlining a scheme for gender analysis in Chapters 1 & 2. Chapter 3 considers the relative 'presence' of men and women in these books, comparing gender ratios of references to both named and unnamed and generic references. Chapter 4 examines the social roles of the two genders, in family life (domestic roles) including authority relationships, and in public life (work roles), ownership and wealth. Chapter 5 is a major chapter investigating gender, importance and value in the 7 books of interest, using such indices as presence and prominence, gendercentric reference, positive/negative assignment of attributes and covenants. Chapter 6 examines the personification of places, abstractions and the supernatural. Chapter 7, Gender in Allegory, looks at the relative balance of gendered references in simile and metaphor. Chapter 8 draws together the findings of previous chapters as they relate specifically to the dimensions, characteristics, roles and traits of gender. After a chapter of summary and conclusions, the final chapter of this book presents an inventory of gender.
