Women of the Bible: A Visual Guide to Their Lives, Loves, and Legacy
by Carol Smith, Rachael Phillips and Ellyn Sanna
While the events described in the Bible occurred within a patriarchal social system, the women of scripture have a strong presence and are remembered for significant actions:
- Eve, who birthed the human race
- Sarah, matriarch of God’s chosen people
- Deborah, who led the Israelite nation
- Delilah, conqueror of Samson
- Mary, mother of God’s Son
- Herodias, nemesis of John the Baptist
- Lydia, first European convert to Christianity
- Priscilla, early Christian missionary
The women of the Bible provide examples-both positive and negative-for women of the 21st century.
Women of the Bible covers women's roles and jobs, daily experiences, and interactions with Bible men, bringing clarity to some of the strange, confusing, and forgotten stories of scripture.
