In Her Voice: Stories of Women in the Bible

In twenty-four narratives, women in the Bible speak out about their lives. Viewed through a critical lens, these women speak and act with an agency that is often missing from their original narratives. Useful for individual or group Bible study or dramatic presentations, these stories are tragic and hopeful, often troubling, and occasionally humorous, instructional, and inspirational.
