A Woman’s Guide to the Old Testament
Eve’s Bible, by Sarah S. Forth, challenges conventional ideas about women in the Bible, and shows readers how to draw upon the deep wellsprings of their own truth to interpret the Bible in new and liberating ways.
Eve’s Bible is written for every woman who has ever said, I’ve always wanted to read the Bible but . . . .
Whatever the reason– it’s too complicated, too big, too old, too many men and too few women, and anyway, I don’t know whether I believe it or not — Eve’s Bible helps explain the Old Testament to readers regardless of their religious affiliation.
