"Essays of considerable literary erudition and sophistication that... dislodge dull stereotypes to enable both women and men readers to see the Bible with fresh eyes."--Los Angeles Times Book Review
As the one work that has held moral and religious sway over the Judeo-Christian tradition for thousands of years, the Bible is unsurpassed in world literature. For women, its meaning is particularly complex; traditionally, the Bible has been used to keep women in their place, but it has also been a book of enduring inspiration. Out of the Garden marks a new stage in women's relations to the Bible: this is the first collection of essays in which women read and respond to the Bible out of pleasure and curiosity--free to explore what is really relevant to women's lives.
Drawing on their own experiences and interests, Louise Erdrich, Cynthia Ozick, Fay Weldon, Phyllis Trible, Rebecca Goldstein, June Jordan, Ursula K. Le Guin, and twenty-one other writers boldly, imaginatively--and sometimes reproachfully--address the Old Testament stories, characters, and poetry that mean the most to them. Thoughtful, challenging, and playful, these beautifully written essays explore the Bible in fresh new ways. Out of the Garden reclaims the Bible for women and shows readers that the Bible is a source we can return to again and again.
"A many-splendored achievement...This grand collection is a bold revitalization of our relation to our tradition. It offers the reader the gorgeously varied company of strongly delineated temperaments as they take on the compelling, threatening figures of our imaginative forebears."
--Harold Bloom

TRIED OTHER DENIM JACKETS LEVI THE ONLY WAY
This jacket is exactly what I was hoping for timeless, clean, and super versatile. The black denim looks sharp and goes with everything, from jeans to chinos. The fit is true to size and hits that perfect spot between fitted and comfortable. I can move around easily without it feeling stiff, and it breaks in nicely after a few wears.
The quality really stands out — solid stitching, durable buttons, and that signature Levi’s structure that just looks good no matter how you style it. It’s warm enough for cool days but still light enough to wear indoors or layer over a hoodie.
Im 180lbs 6’2 for reference, If you’re after that classic denim jacket look that never goes out of style, this one’s it. I get compliments every time I wear it. Also I’ve owned it a year now and it still looks great.

Levi Sun Surf Type 3 Denim Trucker Jacket - Med Wash
Special Size Type: Standard, Size: Medium, Color: (New) Sun Surf, Special Size Type: Standard, Size: Medium, Color: (New) Sun Surf
Levi Type 3 Trucker jackets are the best you can buy. Every one should own a couple of these. I have every color of the Premium versions, that I bought straight from Levi. I've been wanting to try this Sun Surf type 3 from Amazon for a while now. I bought this one to wear over my hoodies on the cooler days and nights, because of its wide body fit. It's not as slim as the Premiums, but it's just as official. It's super soft and lightweight. The fit and appearance is on point. It looks just like the pictures. Love it! I might get a dark wash as well. Amazon + Levi for the win again!

A beautiful HIGHLY fashionable jean jacket! Well packed at a great price!
Size: Large, Color: Acid Blue - Ripped
Awesome jean jacket (that acid washed look which is what I enjoy going for). It fits me really nicely (snug to say the least). It's not a loose fitting jacket, but I believe that's the currently style for jean jackets. I like that tigher fitting jacket where you can wear a longer t-shirt underneath (like an oversized t-shirt would look really nice with this jacket, or a tie dye type t-shirt).
Quality? 10 out of 10! It's thick, it's well-made and came very nicely packed. :)
