Consider the Women: A Provocative Guide to Three Matriarchs of the Bible
Paperback 2019-03-07
Publisher Description
: An edgy new look at three key women in the biblical narrative
Among the mostly male-dominated narratives in Scripture, the stories of women can be game-changing. In this book Debbie Blue looks closely at Hagar (mother of Islam), Esther (Jewish heroine), and Mary (Christian matriarch)-and finds in them instructive new ways of meeting God and navigating life.
Besides exploring these biblical narratives, Blue tells about meeting real-life characters today-a Muslim tattoo artist, a Saudi Arabian sculptor, a rabbi in a Darth Vader costume on roller blades, and more-who also live and move in places and ways outside the strict boundaries of tradition, as Hagar, Esther, and Mary did.
Readers who embark with Blue on the sometimes unorthodox, subversive paths of these curious and lively figures will be led to envision more expansive and hopeful possibilities for faith, human connection, and love in our divided, violent world.
