This Crowded Night brings the women of the New Testament Gospels to
life, capturing the voices of mothers, daughters, sisters, and
wives struggling to find their way--and perhaps their faith--in a
society where women's voices are too often pushed to the margins.
"I'm always looking for ways to read the scriptures--its narratives
and people--with clearer, wider eyes and ears. Elrena Evans book
does this beautifully, bringing ancient but real people and events
to vivid, enfleshed, believable life. Words are made flesh--and God
comes near in these stories," says Leslie Leyland Fields, Author,
The Spirit of Food; and MFA faculty, Seattle Pacific University.
"In these short stories, Elrena Evans joins a long, Christian
literary and theological tradition that extends back to the times
of the medieval mystery plays and likely before that. To the Bible
stories' bare contours, she adds earthly atmosphere, creaturely
flesh, and very deep feeling. Her renderings of the familiar tales
offer such startling insight and moving revelation that this work
of devotion and imagination deserves to find a place beside the
more conventional approaches to the Bible," celebrates Julia
Spicher Kasdorf, Author, Poetry in America
