Papers by Andrew Sloane
1–3, Jeremiah 2 and 3, and Ezekiel 16 and 23 criticise them as
misogynistic texts that express and perpetuate negative images of
women and their sexuality. This study seeks to present an evangelical
response to Athalya Brenner and Fokkelien van Dijk-Hemmes’
pornoprophetic reading of Ezekiel 16 and 23. I outline their claims and
supporting arguments, including their assertion that the texts constitute
pornographic propaganda which shapes and distorts women’s (sexual)
experience in the interests of male (sexual) power. I argue that both
their underlying methods and assumptions and their specific claims are
flawed, and so their claims should be rejected. While acknowledging
the offensive power of the texts, I conclude that alternative
explanations such as the violence of Israel’s judgement and the
offensive nature of Jerusalem’s sin account better for the features of
the texts which they find problematic.
