All The Women of the Bible di Edith Deen
The author includes sketches of literally all of the women of the Bible. The first section includes prominent women such as Eve, Rebekah, and Mary Magdalene; the second includes all other named women, and the third and last section includes all of the unnamed women such the “wise-hearted women”. The author wrote with one purpose “to try to understand and interpret their spiritual experiences, their faith and their relationship with God.”
This is a book that was originally written in 1955, so the slant on things was different from the thinking, by some, of today. I did find it interesting that the author found so many women in the book. The Bible to my thinking is definitely slanted toward the male of the species, so the number of women actually there, though many are mentioned in few words and some not even by name, was surprising.
This is definitely a book to be read in sections or spurts, but I was glad I had finally gotten to it.… (altro)
