Discovering Women in Scripture
Creating a dictionary of biblical women poses a unique challenge for the editors: How can they alphabetize the hundreds of unnamed women?

His Sunday school class was studying the story of the Exodus, and he wanted to be able to contribute to the discussion. Knowing that I taught college courses in biblical studies, he hoped that I would be able to recommend something for him to read that would be comprehensive and up to date. He was not interested in a strongly theological statement. Just the facts. That is, just the latest information about a biblical woman by people who were experts in the study of such figures.
