      Her work seems to center on women in religion, at least with multiple references in the wiki write up indicating so.

      Does she have a standalone comprehensive book on the historical origins of the Bible? Seems she has multiple pieces that focus on different aspects, and they seem very academic, but I didn’t see one that was more generalist.
