Summary:

Is it possible to embrace the inherent dignity of womanhood while still cherishing the Bible? Many people, both inside and outside the church, are concerned that an orthodox understanding of the Bible is threatening and even harmful to women. After all, the Bible has a number of passages regarding women that are deeply troubling. In this fascinating look at God's work of redemption from creation to today, Wendy Alsup looks at both God's grand storyline and specific biblical passages to understand how God speaks to and about women.
