Description
The Bible emerged from a male dominated, patriarchal society. Much of the biblical story casts men as the heroes and basically ignores women; most times treating them as insignificant role players. Nevertheless, the genius of the Holy Spirit arranged the biblical narrative in such a way making it impossible to ignore certain women. Under the toxic patriarchal system of the biblical world, the women highlighted in this book broke through deeply ingrained sexist and misogynistic barriers, joined forces with God as God used them to help roll out the plan for salvation and redemption. These great women of the Bible made such profound contributions; without which the Bible would be incomplete. Despite the vast cultural and time gap that exists between these biblical heroines and women of modernity, it is striking that the same issues with which the women of the Bible had to grapple, still haunt women today. This book opens the portal through which modern women might engage the heroines of the Bible in contemporary conversations.This book includes beautiful depictions of these powerful women to give the readers a visual, as they enjoy these fascinating biblical stories.
