What is it?
Who comes to mind when you think of women in the Bible? Is it Ruth, Sarah, Rahab, perhaps an unnamed servant or someone else?
There are so many women within the Old Testament; some are part of a long narrative, a couple have a book named after them, while others remain nameless despite their significant roles.
Each session will focus on a particular woman (or connected women) and include a spotlight on other women connected to the theme. We will delve into the lives of each woman, where they come in the biblical narrative, how their experiences & actions shaped the Bible and how they impact our own perspectives.
- Matriarchs of the Covenant: Sarah and Hagar
- Women of courage and deliverance: Jochebed and Miriam
- Women of wisdom, justice and conflict: Esther
- Women of prophecy and worship: Hannah
- Women of suffering and redemption: Ruth and Naomi
