Overview

The women of the Bible are complex, multidimensional individuals whose lives are inspiring, funny, and tragic in ways too many of us never hear. Through this study, we will become acquainted with the women of the Old Testament. From flawed heroes like Ruth and Rahab to fierce fighters like Deborah and Jael to tragic characters like Jephthah’s daughter and the unnamed concubine of the book of Judges, we will encounter a wealth of foremothers in the faith in all their messy, yet redeemable, humanity. We will hear the story of every female character who contributes to one or more Old Testament stories, and we will dive deeply into what each woman’s story means for us today.
