Hidden Voices: Biblical Women and Our Christian Heritage by Heidi Bright Parales

hopeful informative inspiring reflective

4.0

This is a great entry level text that I’d recommend to anyone who grew up with the bible, or is interested in translation, feminism, christianity, and/or history. The author covers topics simply enough for a layman to understand (no need for a background in religious studies), and provides ample citations so that if something piques your interest and you want to learn more than the basic overview, you can easily do so. This book would be particularly helpful to christian women struggling to reconcile the sexist nature of the church with their faith.
