Women of the Bible by Jacques Duquesne - Hardcover
From The Red Tent to Marek Halter's Canaan trilogy, biblical women have
inspired numerous contemporary writers-who, in turn, have captivated
millions of readers. Duquesne returns to the original scriptures to
evaluate the often controversial roles, responsibilities, and
relationships of women in the Old and New Testaments. In doing so, he
shows the significant contribution women made to life in ancient Israel
and their importance in spreading the Christian Word throughout the
Western world. The lives of well-know figures such as Eve and Esther,
along with those of less familiar characters such as Rahad and Huldah,
are brought to life in this beautiful collection. Portraits are
accompanied by a biblical passage and illustrated with religious art
throughout the centuries.
