The hermeneutics of "her" / The women in Jesus's genealogy : more than redeemed sinners -- Tamar : the righteous prostitute / Rahab : what we talk about when we talk about Rahab / Ruth : the so-called scandal / Bathsheba : vixen or victim? / The Virgin Mary : reclaiming our respect / Eve : the mother of all seducers? / Sarah : taking things into her own hands or seeking to love? / Hagar : God names Adam, Hagar names God / Deborah : only when a good man is hard to find? / Huldah : malfunction with the wardrobe-keeper's wife / Vashti : dishonored for having honor / The "Woman at the well" : was the Samaritan woman really an adulteress? / Mary Magdalene : repainting her portrait of misconceptions / Junia/Joanna : herald of the Good News / Henry Rouse -- Carolyn Custis James -- Eva Bleeker -- Marnie Legaspi -- Sarah Bowler -- Timothy Ralston -- Glenn Kreider -- Eugene Merrill -- Tony Maalouf -- Ron Pierce -- Christa L. McKirland -- Sharifa Stevens -- Lynn Cohick -- Karla Zazueta -- Amy Peeler. Introduction. Section I. Section II. A survey of sexualized, vilified, and marginalized women of the Bible -- Section III. Some New Testament women revisited --
Gain a greater understanding of gender in the Bible through the eyes of a diverse group of evangelical scholars who assert that Christians have missed the point of some scriptural stories by assuming the women in them were "bad girls." Did the Samaritan woman really divorce five husbands in a world where women rarely divorced even one? Did Bathsheba seduce King David by bathing in the nude? Was Mary Magdalene really a reformed prostitute? While many have written studies of the women in the Bible, this is a new kind of book--one in which an international team of male and female scholars look afresh at vilified and neglected women in the Bible. The result is a new glimpse into God's heart for anyone, male or female, who has limited social power. -
