Synopsis

This Friendly Guide to Women in the Old Testament provides an easy-to-follow introduction to the stories of women in a range of Old Testament writings for readers of the twenty-first century. It presents an opportunity to explore biblical texts and characters that can be challenging to modern readers, and to discover their relevance and meaning today.

In all their diversity, the women in this book play a vital part in the history of salvation, the great story of God's involvement with humankind. The stories featuring these women have been considered as so important that they were told and re-told, written down, preserved over many centuries, and finally handed down to us as 'Word of God'.

This Friendly Guide demonstrates that, even though there are more male than female characters in the Old Testament, women are as significant in bringing about God's plans - or in hindering them - as are men, and sometimes even more.

The Friendly Guides series by Garratt Publishing is designed to provide easily accessible information on themes fundamental to understanding the Catholic faith. Some of Australia's foremost scholars and theologians have accepted the invitation to write at an introductory level in their fields of expertise and have produced texts which are clear, concise and readable.

The Friendly Guides are bursting with colour and creativity, featuring photos, icons, maps, charts, summary boxes and original artwork. The format is attractive and engaging and will provide an invaluable resource for teachers, students, parish groups, RCIA teams and candidates, and anyone searching for a clear explanation of Catholic and Christian traditions.
