Reclaiming Her Story: The Witness of Women in the Old Testament

Their stories are as varied as the women who lived them--provocative poignant often painful. But they are not readily accessible to us. The voices are muted. The shapes and textures are blurred and easily distorted. Can the stories of Old Testament women of faith be reheard and reclaimed in an empowering way by women and men today? With remarkable sensitivity and a keen awareness of his own unavoidable male biases Jon Berquist casts new light on Eve and Sarah Lots wife and Jephthahs daughter Ruth and Esther and others. This timely volume serves as a valuable resource for rediscovering the multiple witness of biblical women that has all too often gone unnoticed in the churchs faith and life.
