After my study is over, I hope to use the book for some personal devotional time. I was happy to be able to introduce Bible Women to the weekly study group at my church we're excited about both the personal reflection and the lively group discussions it will generate.įrankly, I loved this book. BJ The book's concept and innovative format are deceptively simple the stories of women in the Bible, told through their own words recorded in scripture, are complex, and invite deep contemplation. I look forward to continuing digging into a delightful book! I read Eve today and found myself disagreeing on certain words used like "we probably wouldn't be here" and I thought that "possibly" we wouldn't but maybe we would and what would that look like, how might God have way.

Step into God's sacred circle of mothers, grandmothers, warriors, prophets, prostitutes, and murderers. Questions at the end of each chapter encourage individual or small-group reflection about what we might learn from each of these women and how God is speaking through them to us. We hear the only conversation in the Bible between a mother and daughter (and it's not pretty), the words of a woman who eats her own child, and the triumphant exclamation of a woman telling the world about the risen Christ. We learn which women speak the most (hint: it's not Mary!) and which books of the Bible have the fewest words from women. In this groundbreaking book named best Bible study of 2015 by Illumination Book Awards, Episcopal priest Lindsay Hardin Freeman identifies every woman who speaks in the Bible, providing their words, context, and historical background. Through these women, God spoke, intervened, changed, illustrated, and proclaimed the story of redemption. Yet their words are part of God's Word, the Bible, for a reason. While a few women, such as Mary, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Mary Magdalene, are familiar, many of the women who speak in the Bible have long been ignored. Women of the Bible have been trapped in dry and dusty literary caskets for centuries.
