This series will highlight as many as thirty women from the pages of the Bible. You might not have considered reading the Scriptures through the eyes of the women of the Bible before, but to do so will open up fascinating stories and characters, women of incredible courage, fierce zeal, and sometimes (as show with Judith, above) the resolve to kill Israel’s enemies. Each talk will narrate the life of the chosen characters and see the part they played in the drama of Salvation.
