Women in the Old Testament by Irene Nowell
This volume explores the lives of Old Testament women: mothers and wives, queens and slaves, prophets and warriors, powerful women and victims; women whose stories offer courage and insight. Each chapter begins with suggestions for readings, and includes biblical excerpts.
. . women played important roles in Israel's history from the beginning. If we have not recognized this, it might be because we have failed to read their stories with the interest and understanding that they merit.Dianne Bergant, CSA, Catholic Theological Union
