Download or read book The Women of the Bible Speak written by Shannon Bream and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! The women of the Bible lived timeless stories—by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith. People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever. In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel's Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us. From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys. The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.

Book excerpt: "Guys, your excuses are over. You keep saying you wish you understood the Bible better. When you try to read it, however, you find yourself complaining you don't understand what is going on. "What has something that happened 2000 (much less 4000) years ago have to do with me or my life?" you ask yourself. Father Martin Pable is about to tell you. Focusing on eleven men in the Bible, the ones (in addition to Jesus) that he considers "great," he explains who they were, their sacred stories, and what they have to teach men today. As for the great women of the Bible, Fr. Pable leaves them for another book. "This one's for you, guys," he says in his Introduction." P. [4] of cover.
Download or read book What the Bible Actually Teaches on Women written by Kevin Giles and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kevin Giles has been writing on women in the Bible for over forty years. In this book, What the Bible Actually Teaches on Women, he gives the most comprehensive account to date of the competing conclusions to this question and the issues surrounding it. To understand the bitter and divisive debate among evangelicals over the status and ministry of women, it needs to be understood that those who since 1990 have called themselves "complementarians" argue that in creation before the fall God set the man over the woman. Thus, the leadership of the man and the subordination of the woman in the home, the church, and wherever possible in the world (the whole creation) is the God-given ideal that is pleasing to God. It is this "theology" that Kevin Giles deconstructs and shows to be without a biblical foundation. Giles shows that he is fully conversant with the complementarian position and yet is unpersuaded by it. He sees it as an appeal to the Bible to preserve male privilege, similar to the appeals to the Bible to validate slavery and Apartheid; appeals to the Bible made by some of the best Reformed and evangelical biblical scholars, and now seen to be special pleading. Carefully studying the limited number of texts on which complementarians predicate their theology of the sexes, Giles finds not one of them actually teaches what complementarians claim. Furthermore, complementarians too often ignore the texts that are very difficult for them. In this book the ordination of women gets only passing mention. The constant focus is on whether or not the Bible subordinates women to men as an abiding theological principle.

Download or read book Great Women of The Bible written by Theron D Williams and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible emerged from a male dominated, patriarchal society. Therefore, much of the biblical story casts men as the heroes and basically ignores women; most times treating them as insignificant role players. Nevertheless, the genius of the Holy Spirit arranged the biblical narrative in a way that makes it impossible to ignore certain women. Under the toxic patriarchal system of the biblical world, the women highlighted in this book broke through deeply ingrained sexist and misogynistic barriers to join forces with God to roll out the plan of salvation, liberation and redemption. These great women of the Bible made such profound contributions; without whom the Bible would be incomplete. This book considers the lives and ministries of seven amazing women of the Bible. Eve, who is the mother of all who lived. She was the last entity created by the very hand of God. When God finished creating Eve God said it is very good. Thus, Eve represents the divine standard of all that is good and beautiful. Deborah is the only woman judge in Israelite history. She is also the first prophet whose prophetic ministry unfolded in the land of Israel. She set the standard for the prophetic order in Israel. Queen Vashti is the uncompromising woman who lost her queenship for refusing to be sexually objectified by a powerful man. Queen Esther was the Hebrew woman who arose to power in Persia but never forgot where she came from, thus saved the Hebrews in Persia from extermination. Mary, the mother of our Lord, who came from an oppressed and marginalized community, was the least likely person to be given the responsibility to provide parental leadership to the Savior of the world. Mary Magdalene was arguably one of Jesus' most important disciples. And Lydia, was Paul's first European convert. She was recognized as the first Christian Businesswoman and a founding member of the church at Philippi. This work seeks to understand these great women from the vantage point of their historical contexts. In so doing, we have a better appreciation of how their political, economic, religious and social realities impacted them. This book presents their stories in a way that parallels the stories of Black women in America. At the end of each chapter there are reflection questions designed to stimulate group discussions. Or, if you are reading for personal devotion, these questions may arouse deep self-reflection. This book also contains beautiful physical depictions of these great women according to the author's understanding of the historical images of the people of the Bible.
