Holly Morse, Lecturer in Bible, Gender and Culture at the University of Manchester

Dr Holly Morse is Lecturer in Bible, Gender and Culture at the University of Manchester. Her research interests include gender, visual arts, and the Bible, female biblical interpretation, and hermeneutics. Her doctoral thesis was on the biblical figure of Eve and her cultural reception, with a focus on marginalised readers and readings.

"Morse provides a well-researched, well-presented, and readable critical assessment of 'Eve's afterlives' that includes heretical, marginal, and forgotten insights in an enriching encounter with Eve." - GEORGE NICOL, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament

"This book would serve as a superb textbook for a course on the reception of Eve. It is careful, well-argued and well documented. It can serve to launch any number of exegetical, historical, hermeneutical, aesthetic or cultural debates. We are all in Morse's debt for curating this excellent exhibition on Eve's afterlives." - Carol A. Newsom, Scottish Journal of Theology

"Encountering Eve's Afterlives presents a rich, detailed, and diverse collection of portraits of Eve's story. The use of galleries as opposed to chapters requires some adaption on the reader's part but is a creative way to organize and present such a rich and diverse history." - David Parris, Fuller Theological Seminary, Review of Biblical Literature
