Women in the Bible (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781608992218)

Deciphering women's stories in the Bible can be frustrating and lead to dead ends. So many women appear once and then disappear. Most are not even given a name. Women in the Bible uncovers women's stories and provides tools for studying women in the Bible. Each chapter examines a particular group of women, such as wives and mothers, prophets and leaders, then focuses on individual women. Insights: Bible Studies for Growing Faith is a fresh and timely Bible study series. In these short-term, thematically based resources, individuals and groups are invited to find meaning and direction for their lives by exploring the Scriptures in a way that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. Barbara J. Essex, author of Bad Girls of the Bible (The Pilgrim Press, 1999) and Bread of Life: Lenten Reflections for Individuals and Groups (The Pilgrim Press, 1998), is Minister and Director of Pastoral Services at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California.
