This book presents a fresh understanding of the ethical legacy of the biblical figure of Lot's wife. It draws on archives of Jewish and Christian thought as well as modern philosophical and literary treatments of the Sodom story to show how Lot's wife's fate harbors an ethics of reparative resilience.
