Women appear in key places and roles throughout the biblical
story-line. In the Old Testament we find Eve in the garden of Eden;
the matriarchs Sarah, Rebekah, Leah and Rachel; Deborah and Ruth in
the time of the Judges; the prophetesses Huldah in King Josiah's
time; the capable woman of Proverbs 31; the passionate woman in the
Song of Songs. In the Gospels, various women are involved in the
life of Jesus, not least his mother Mary and the first witnesses to
his resurrection. The book of Acts includes Lydia the converted
businesswoman and Priscilla the fearless teacher. Furthermore, both
testaments also contain much teaching about women's life and
ministry, for example in prayer, in worship, in marriage and in
leadership. Derek and Dianne Tidball's wide-ranging exposition
begins with some foundations about women in creation and in the new
creation. Next, they survey women under the old covenant. Thirdly,
they examine women in the kingdom of God, in the life and teaching
of Jesus, and in the final section they deal with women in the new
community of the early church, and grapple with some of the more
controversial writings of the apostle Paul. Mindful of the
complexities, challenges and debates, the authors seek to approach
the Bible with humility and integrity, while addressing vitally
relevant issues for Christians today with clarity and confidence.
