Comprehensive interfaith coverage of the important female figures This friendly, approachable guide introduces readers to the famous and infamous women of Scripture, describing in everyday language the contributions these women made in their time and ours.

The Bible For Dummies (9781119293507) was previously published as The Bible For Dummies (9780764552960).

Discover the world’s all-time bestseller in an entirely new light Ninety percent of Americans own a copy of the Bible, and while it's the most widely read book, it's also the least understood. Regardless of your religion, understanding the Bible brings much of Western art, literature, and public discourse into greater focus—from Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" painting to the Wachowski brothers' The Matrix movies. People have historically turned to religion to deal with tragedy and change, and with the right insight, the Bible can be an accessible, helpful guide to life's big questions. The Bible For Dummies appeals to people of all faiths, as well as those who don't practice any particular religion, by providing interfaith coverage of the entire Bible and the often fascinating background information that makes the Bible come alive. You'll find answers to such questions as: Where did the Bible come from? Who wrote the Bible? How is the Bible put together? Follow the history of the Bible from its beginning thousands of years ago as tattered scrolls to its status as the bestseller of all time. The Bible For Dummies covers these topics and more: Ten people in the Bible you should know The Hebrew Bible The Apocrypha's hidden treasures What's new about the New Testament Israel's wisdom, literature, and love poetry The Bible's enduring influence The prophets: more than fortunetellers Whether you're interested in broadening your spiritual horizons, uncovering the symbolism of Western culture, or gaining a deeper understanding of the book you grew up reading, The Bible For Dummies has all the information you need to navigate this ancient and fascinating book.

"We shake our heads in genuine puzzlement at supercapable women who have much to teach us," says author Brenda Poinsett. From a brief Scripture backdrop, Brenda gleans personal truths from these heroes. Recall how God chose to involve women in His plans in daring, yet ordinary life moments. Be inspired that He will work in your life as you reflect on the discussion questions for each woman: Discover what encourages or discourages you as you face threats, with Rahab. Embody a bold, assertive, likable nature as you prepare for battle, with Deborah. Embrace your good works for what they are as you minister, with Dorcas. Escape what hinders your worship as you dwell in God's presence, with Anna. Grasp true wisdom and courage as you walk, with the Wise Woman of Abel. Book jacket.

Whether about morality or matters of doctrine, hundreds of questions a year are posed to the average priest, with vast spiritual significance hinging on each answer — conversions and reconversions, children's formation, the survival of marriages, new vocations to the priesthood, and the eternal destiny of those on their deathbeds. Yet there remain few good Q&A compendiums published over the past half century. In response to this need, Fr. John Trigilio and Fr. Ken Brighenti, hosts of EWTN's Web of Faith, draw on their years of pastoral experience to compile a comprehensive list of the best questions ever asked of them, responding to each with the same natural warmth, intellectual heft, and spiritual acuity that has earned them such a large international following.
