Considering the example of the Elijah cycle (1 Kings 17 – 2 Kings 2), this contribution presents different approaches of a gender-sensitive exegesis. They are further developed and applicated to a reference text, in this case 1 Kings 17. The present study discusses main features of a feminist hermeneutics which is pursued gender-specifically and amended by different approaches from menʼs studies/masculinity studies and finally queer studies. A second, upcoming article will further introduce postcolonial approaches (especially relating to 1 Kings 21) and sharpen the question of Elijahʼs God, respectively his "monotheism" in a gender-sensitive way. Both studies trace back to lectures delivered as a visiting professor at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris (spring 2014).
