Preaching the Women of the Old Testament

Women played an important role in the Old Testament. However, their stories are often untold in both the classroom and from the pulpit-- until now. Inside Preaching the Women of the Old Testament author Lynn Japinga explores the stories of over forty fierce, faithful, and strong women featured in the Old Testament, including Eve, Rebekah, Dinah, Tamar, Miriam, Deborah, Jael, Abigail, Bathsheba, and Vashti. Along with providing an interpretation of their stories, Japinga demonstrates how each woman's story has been read in Christian tradition and offers sermon ideas that connect each story to various contemporary issues. This unique resource is ideal for pastors who want to know more about the many women in the Old Testament and how to better incorporate them into their sermons. - back of the book.
