What if the church has been wrong all along? Sandra Glahn, Editor Sandra Glahn (Th. M., PhD) is a professor in Media Arts/Worship and pastoral ministries at Dallas Theological Seminary. Glahn is a journalist and the author or coauthor of twenty books. Vindicating the Vixens Revisiting Sexualized, Vilified, and Marginalized Women of the Bible The church has a long history of viewing prominent women of the Bible through a skewed interpretive lens. Eve is best known for causing the fall, Ruth acted scandalously on the threshing floor, and Mary Magdalene is infamous for a life of prostitution. But do these common representations accurately reflect what Scripture says about these and other women of the Bible? Sarah Glahn and an international team of both male and female scholars challenge these superficial treatments. A fresh look at Eve, Bathsheba, Mary Magdalene, and other misunderstood women in the Bible Important resource for pastors International team of contributors who understand what it means to be marginalized Read more Octavio Javier Esqueda, Professor of Christian Higher Education, Talbot School of Theology This exceptional and relevant text fills an unfortunate gap created by distorted, traditional perspectives and not from the Scriptures. Kelsey Hency, Editor in Chief of Fathom A course correction for the Churchand an invaluable one at that. Chapter after chapter it redeems the reputation of many of the biblical women weve often misunderstood. In the process, it removes misunderstandings, misplaced convictions, and unintentional bias and in their place leaves a better sense of Gods love and justice. Reassessing my forgone conclusions has never felt so valuable. Paul Launum, Vice President of Publishing, RighNow Media A monumentally important work in that it confronts the prevalent misinterpretations of some of the most critical women in Scripture. The faithful and meticulous research of Dr. Glahn and the contributing authors advances the powerful message of the bookof Gods passion for the marginalized, the misunderstood, and the outsider. This book will challenge the way you look at women, both those in the Bible and those you meet every day. Nika Spaulding, Resident Theologian, St Jude Oak Cliff Finally a book that recognizes misunderstood biblical women as Kingdom builders rather than home-wreckers. What a joy to know teachers have a resource for exhorting their congregations to be like Peter and Paul, and also like Tamar and Rahab. Read more
