Synopsis: Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah are women often
condemned to be only the shadow of their male opposite numbers.
However, each one of them had a privileged role, often a decisive
role, in the formation of the people of God. Their place was not
only in the bosom of their family, but also at the heart of
Israel's history. God chose them as full-time partners in the work
of salvation. In this little book Christianne Meroz proposes to
recount these women's lives of passion and rivalry, hopes and
deceptions, faithfulness and freedom. Not a biblical commentary,
this work is a sensitive and tender narrative that, with the
sometimes surprising enlightenment provided by traditions of the
Jewish and Islamic communities of faith, furnishes us with highly
textured portraits of these women. It is a narrative in which we
develop a quick sympathy for these free women whose names begin
practically to dance in our hearts. Author Biography: Christianne
Meroz is a sister of the Community of Grandchamp in Switzerland.
Trained as a psychologist, she publishes poetry and books in the
field of biblical spirituality. Five Women is the first of these to
appear in English. Dennis Wienk is a priest of the Episcopal
Diocese of Rochester, having retired from serving as Director of
Pastoral Care with Episcopal SeniorLife Communities in Rochester,
New York.
