Who Are the Women in the Bible?Biblical history is full of women from all walks of life and social standing. Many made significant contributions to the Kingdom of God and some opposed the will of God. There are heroines and villains, queens and chambermaids, aristocrats and peasants. From these women came deeds of extraordinary valor as well as conspiracies against the one true God. There were everyday hard working sacrifices and nonchalant mediocrity. No two women were the same and all have a story to be told.While pulling together the scriptures and deciding who to include and who to not include, it became apparent that if one wanted to study the Bible it could be done effectively through the lives of these women. But also, if one wanted to study women's issues it could also be done effectively through the Bible. This book is primarily a compilation of scriptures about those noteworthy women in the Bible. It is designed to help the researcher and the curious to find scriptures on well-known Biblical women. It is not exhaustive as there are many, many women that are not included herein.TABLE OF CONTENTSIntroductionThe Martha Syndrome and the Mary SolutionBiblical Lessons on Women From the BibleA Virtuous WomanProverbs: WomenProverbs: WivesProverbs: MothersSpiritual MotherHoodWomen in ChurchA Woman's Beauty Is Measured ByAged and Young WomenWidows and Idle WomenGodly WivesWomen in the Old Testament of the BibleAbijah (Abi)AbishagAbigailAchsahAdah and ZillahAsenath, Joseph's WifeAthaliah & JehoshebaBathshebaBilhahCandaceDaughters of MenDaughters of ZelophehadDeborahDelilahDinahEstherEveEzekiel's WifeGomerGreat Woman of ShunemHagarHannahHuldahJaelJephthah's DaughterJezebelJochebed, Moses' MotherKeturahKing Lemuel's MotherLeahLot's WifeLot's Two DaughtersMaid of Naaman's WifeMichalMiriamNaomiOrpahPharaoh's DaughterPotiphar's WifeQueen of ShebaRachelRahabRebekakRizpahRuthSamson's MotherSarahSolomon's WivesTamarTwo Harlot Mothers (with Solomon)VashtiWidow at ZarephathWidow's OilWise Woman of AbelWide Woman of TekoahWisehearted WomenWoman of ThebezWoman with Familiar Spirit at EndorZipporah (Moses' Wife)Women in the New Testament of the BibleAfflicted Daughters of AbrahamAnna, The ProphetessBerniceDaughters of JerusalemDemon Possessed DamselDorcas (Tabitha)Elizabeth, Mother of John the BaptistEuodia and SyntycheHerodias, Salome (#1) and the Beheading of John the BaptistJairus' DaughterJesus' SistersJoanna, Susanna & Mary(s) (Women With Jesus)Lois and EuniceLydiaMary and Martha: Only One Thing Is NeededMary and Martha with LazarusMary Anoints Jesus, (Woman with Alabaster Box)Mary MagdaleneMary, Mother of James and JosesMary, Mother of JesusMary, Mother of Mark John, with RhodaPersistent WidowPeter's Mother-In-LawPhebePilate's WifePriscillaSalome (#2), Mother of Zebedee's ChildrenSamaritan Women by Jacob's WellSapphira, Ananias' WifeTen VirginsWidow Who Gave Two MitesWoman Caught In AdulteryWoman Clothed With the SunWoman Who Begged For Daughter's HealingWoman With the Issue of BloodJoanna, Susanna & Mary(s) (Women With Jesus)
