I am a Hebrew biblical scholar and professor, Episcopal priest and veteran. I publish as Wilda and Wil Gafney. I teach Biblical Hebrew, Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and, Womanist and Feminist Biblical Studies. I translate the biblical text for my reader, giving them entré to the complexity of the text and the decisions translators make. My scholarship includes prophecy and prophetic literature, rabbinic (Tanaaitic) literature and, Ancient Afro-Asiatic religious literature specializing in women's prophetic traditions in and around ancient Israel and its neighbors, and and traditional and contemporary midrash - biblical interpretation. My personal love for vampire literature intersects with my professional biblical scholarship in my note in the Peoples' Bible on the Lilith who appears in Isaiah 34:14. She is regarded as the mother of vampires in later medieval midrash, but Isaiah had a much older night-stalking creature in mind... I blog at: wilgafney.com and tweet at @wilgafney.
