This volume examines questions concerning the construction of gender and identity in the earliest days of what is now Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Methodologically explicit, the contributions analyze textual and material sources related to these religious traditions in their cultural contexts. The sources examined are predominantly products of patriarchal elite discourses requiring innovative approaches to unveil aspects of gender otherwise hidden. This volume extends the discussion represented in the volume Gender and Second-Temple Judaism (2020) and highlights the fruitfulness of interdisciplinary research beyond anachronistic discipline distinctions.

I begyndelsen var skriget er et øjenåbnende bud pa en ny forståelse af vore forfædres mytologi. De fleste danskere har en ide om at vikingerne inddelte deres verden i godt og ondt, aser og jætter, som bekrigede hinanden. Det er Snorri Sturlusons 1200-tals Edda der ligger til grund for denne opfattelse. Men Snorri var kristen og havde en kristen dagsorden med sine genfor-tællinger. Henning Kure bevæger sig bag om Snorri og befrier de gamle myter for tolkninger, som vikingerne selv næppe ville have genkendt. I stedet får vi et muligt oldnordisk syn på verden, mennesket og livet, der sætter de gamle myter i et helt nyt lys.
