One Hundred Named Women Of The Bible

One Hundred Named Women of the Bible is a walk through the Bible from beginning to end, highlighting the lives and experiences of women as the major characters. It may appeal to the beginning Bible student as well as those with more advanced expectations. From the lives of these women, we glean lessons in love and hate, victory and defeat, grief and gladness, courage and fear, and faith and forgiveness. We see a progression in opportunities—from women being allowed to say very little in the beginning, to being able to make major decisions in the end. In the Old Testament, the first woman, Eve, introduced the world to sin; in the New Testament, another woman, Mary, presents the world with a Savior. What a contrast!

“This splendid reference describes every woman in Jewish and Christian scripture . . . monumental” (Library Journal). In recent decades, many biblical scholars have studied the holy text with a new focus on gender. Women in Scripture is a groundbreaking work that provides Jews, Christians, or anyone fascinated by a body of literature that has exerted a singular influence on Western civilization a thorough look at every woman and group of women mentioned in the Bible, whether named or unnamed, well known or heretofore not known at all. They are remarkably varied—from prophets to prostitutes, military heroines to musicians, deacons to dancers, widows to wet nurses, rulers to slaves. There are familiar faces, such as Eve, Judith, and Mary, seen anew with the full benefit of the most up-to-date results of biblical scholarship. But the most innovative aspect of this book is the section devoted to the many females who in the scriptures do not even have names. Combining rigorous research with engaging prose, these articles on women in the Hebrew Bible, the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books, and the New Testament will inform, delight, and challenge readers interested in the Bible, scholars and laypeople alike. Together, these collected histories create a volume that takes the study of women in the Bible to a new level.

Many women of the Bible have not been mentioned by name. Noah's wife was alluded to only as his spouse, but her role had to have been an important one. Noah must have desperately needed her by his side as together they forged into the unknown. Other women in the Bible were not mentioned at all although they must have been there. For example, the innkeeper's wife surely played a large role on that night in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. Marie Holt uses her vivid imagination to reach into the minds of some of these unnamed and unmentioned women. Their stories of fear, injustice, tragedy, courage, grace, and God's intervening love grip our imaginations and teach us timely principles. Also includes the stories of: - The Persistent Widow--Dealing With Injustice - Jephthah's Daughter--Facing Tomorrow - The Israelite Midwife--Making a Difference - Pilate's Wife--Sharing Your Convictions - The Samaritan Woman--Accepting the Gift of Grace - The Bahurim Woman--Telling the Truth - The Widow Of Zarephath--Holding on to Your Trust - David's Mother--Letting a Loved One Go As we look into the persona of these women, we see how each of them had an experience that women of today can use to heal, grow, and move forward.

They didn't get as much ink--but they contributed amazing things to the history of God's people.
