Available here for the first time in paperback, Women in Scripture
is a landmark one-volume reference work exploring all the women
mentioned in the Bible, named and unnamed, well known and
heretofore not known at all. The book comprises more than 800
articles, written by the finest scholars in the field, that examine
the numerous women who have often been obscured by the androcentric
nature of the biblical record and by centuries of translation and
interpretation that have paid little or no attention to them. The
women of scripture are remarkably varied-from prophets to
prostitutes, military heroines to musicians, deacons to dancers,
widows to wet nurses, rulers to slaves. Here are familiar faces,
such as Eve, Judith, and Mary, seen anew with the full benefit of
the most up-to-date biblical scholarship. But the most innovative
aspect of the book is the section devoted to the many women who in
the scriptures do not even have names. In both scope and
accessibility, Women in Scripture is an exceptional work. Combining
rigorous scholarship with engaging prose, these articles on women
in the Hebrew Bible, the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical books, and the
New Testament will inform, delight, and challenge all readers
interested in the Bible.
