It is commonly held among specialists on ancient Near East that women in ancient Israel did not have much space in official public sphere. However, biblical texts witness to their special role as mourners. This paper presents some terminological considerations regarding the mourning women as presented in the Hebrew Bible (esp. Jer 9,16-21), the rituals that accompanied mourning, and the meaning of these women for society. Furthermore, the paper considers the role of the mourning women in the cultic life (Ez 8,14). Finally, a particular attention will be paid to Ritzpah, a special case of a mourning woman in the Bible (2 Sam 21,1-14).

Contemporary research about the religious notions of the Hebrew Bible, such as the soul, the body, and truth shows their concrete, non-abstract, and non-speculative nature. From the beginning, Christian thinkers interpreted these notions from the Greek philosophical perspective, with its abstract mentality. Contemporary philosophers tend to remove this limitation. Richard Rorty, for example, proposed using categories freed from the idea of an unchangeable absolute. His proposal to replace abstract philosophy with literature is closer to the classic Hebrew mentality than to Christian abstract theology. Catholic dogma contradicts the historicity of the old Hebrew biblical narration. However, Thomas Aquinas, considered to be the main author of this abstract, anti-historical approach, was nevertheless able to express the historical perspective by using the notion of participation. Unfortunately, Catholic thought after him radicalised the anti-historical perspective by universalising the abstract scheme and interpreting Catholic dogma as a kind of eternal entity.
