NLT The Women’s Study Bible – Oxford University Press – Sky/Surf Pacific Duvelle (Synthetic Leather)

Description

Everyone knows about Noah, Moses, and Paul. But what about Hagar,
Michal, and Pricilla, all women who had a direct influence in the story of God's
people? The Bible is full of fascinating, powerful, and faithful women, as
well as lessons that have unique meanings for women today.

In The Women's Study Bible, respected Bible scholars draw out these
overlooked stories and reveal the lives of women at the time and share lessons
for women of today.

The majority of Biblical commentary available to readers today
is written from the perspective of white, Western, classically educated men. And
while this perspective is valid and valuable, it is necessarily partial.
The Women's Study Bible , edited by Catherine Clark Kroeger and Mary J. Evans,
seeks to redress this imbalance. The annotations and articles collected here
don't simply look at passages about women. They look at all of Scripture from a
woman's perspective, exploring questions that have special relevance for women.
How does Scripture speak to women as they give birth and breast-feed, bandage
and console, survive intolerable conditions, hold high office, and contemplate
both shattered hopes and dreams fulfilled? What was daily life like for women in
Biblical times? How do women represented in the Bible speak to women–and
men–today?

Each biblical book is accompanied by an introduction that lays
out dating, authorship, and other historical information, as well as the larger
themes of the book–both those specific to women and those that have a broader
relevance. Helpful running annotations give more specifics, paying particular
attention to the many women who appear in the Bible, highlighting passages that
specifically address women and women's issues, and clarifying lessons that women
might draw from more general passages. This edition uses the New Living
Translation, an easy-to-read translation that employs gender-inclusive language.
It also includes New Oxford Bible Maps, extensive back matter, as well as a
helpful index to women in the Bible. Written from a faith perspective by a
wide range of both male and female scholars from around the world and from
different denominational backgrounds, these study tools offer all readers a
wealth of information and guidance.
