I have participated in numerous bible studies through the years & would suggest this particular book for youth that are being re-introduced to the bible only because it is far from boring & extremely fictionalized. It would certainly keep their attention! If you read it or choose to use it in your study, note that the second half is the author's interpretation of these individual's lives. Which doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing, I viewed it as artistic expression & found it entertaining! Not trite & boring which theology itself can be at times. ( ) All The Women Of The Bible M. L. Del Mastro Castle Books (2004), Hardcover, 425 pages As an encyclopedic reference it gives short biographical sketches - in as much as is known - and bibliography of where these women appear. It was interesting to encounter a number of names and situations that I had missed entirely or forgotten when studying in a principally male Seminary. Not the fascinating pleasure reading one might hope for, but a fine resource if you are trying to track down a contextual comment or are looking for references to how women might have been perceived in Biblical times. From both a Women's Studies and Theological standpoint it does provide a well indexed body of information, some fairly obscure, which can then be expanded upon with the use of other resources. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Divided into two sections: a biographical dictionary, listing over 400 women--named, unnamed, or allegorical--along with a short description of her life, alternate spellings, biblical citations where her story can be found, and cross references to other dictionary entries; and "the book of stories," which retells in detail the stories of fifty-six important women. Many of these stories, when read in the Bible, provide only a bare-bones structure that leaves the reader wondering about the woman's character and choices. Here they are fleshed out and given words and thoughts and ideas to share with the reader. Their stories are true to the original texts, but are infused with life and emotion--written in such a way to not only retell the story, but to humanize their characters and provide a basis for moral instruction as well as entertainment.--From publisher description.
