From an interview with feminist biblical scholar Phyllis Trible:
BAR: Are you a Christian?
PT: Yes.
BAR: What does that mean?
PT: It means taking the major symbols of the Christian faith and using them, appropriating them.
BAR: What differentiates the Bible, say, from Shakespeare?
PT: I ask myself that question, and if I had a clear answer, I'd give it to you.
Hmmm, would Trible like to reconsider that first answer?
