Overview
From ancient priestesses to prophets and heroines, this beautiful hardback guide contains a rich survey of the remarkable women in the Bible, richly accompanied by full-color illustrations.
For centuries, interpretations of Scripture have emphasized male authority and male leadership. Yet a careful reading of the Old and New Testaments reveals a more nuanced history-one in which women appear as prophets, judges, priestesses, patrons, disciples, and leaders within their communities.
In Women in the Bible, John Baldock offers a chronological and historically grounded study of women in biblical texts. Drawing directly from Scripture, he examines the lives and roles of key Old Testament and New Testament women, exploring how their stories were shaped by cultural context, religious tradition, and later interpretation.
This book addresses central themes in biblical studies and gender history, including:
• Marriage, love, and family structures in biblical society
• Exploitation, social vulnerability, and power dynamics
• The role of women in early Judaism and Christianity
Richly illustrated with religious artwork throughout, Women in the Bible is essential reading for anyone interested in female figures in the Bible and the historical role of women in Scripture.
