Description

Do You Know the God of Ancient Israel's Women of Faith?

Believers today are facing a profound spiritual poverty--an ignorance of the women who shaped their faith and, as a result, an incomplete understanding of the God those women faithfully served.

The inspired writers of the Old Testament mention over one hundred women by name and countless others in passing. Yet how many of us know the stories of these women and the God who wrote them?

Sheerah built three cities and had one named after her.
Jehosheba executed a covert operation to preserve the Davidic line.
Miriam left us a legacy of worship that persists to this day.

Then there are the women who proclaimed the good news of God, prophesied truth to power, protected Israel from her enemies, relentlessly interceded for God to act, and passed along a living faith in the God who did. Each of these women and their stories finds a place in God's redemptive plan for his creation.

In Ancient Israel's Women of Faith, Claude Mariottini introduces readers to a fresh reading of Scripture that takes seriously these stories. In doing so, he challenges anachronistic, modern readings of the text by providing helpful contextual information, including nuances in the original language, histories of translation, and observations on the cultural, political, legal, economic, and religious landscapes of their time.

Readers of this title will walk away with new insights, questions, and areas for research, but, more importantly, they'll walk away with a new understanding of the God of ancient Israel's women of faith.
