Women appear in key places and roles throughout the biblical story-line.
In the Old Testament we find Eve in the garden of Eden; the matriarchs Sarah, Rebekah, Leah and Rachel; Deborah and Ruth in the time of the Judges; the prophetesses Huldah in King Josiah's time; the capable woman of Proverbs 31; the passionate woman in the Song of Songs.
In the Gospels, various women are involved in the life of Jesus, not least his mother Mary and the first witnesses to his resurrection. The book of Acts includes Lydia the converted businesswoman and Priscilla the fearless teacher.
Furthermore, both testaments also contain much teaching about women's life and ministry, for example in prayer, in worship, in marriage and in leadership.
Derek and Dianne Tidball's wide-ranging exposition begins with some foundations about women in creation and in the new creation.
Next, they survey women under the old covenant.
Thirdly, they examine women in the kingdom of God, in the life and teaching of Jesus,
and in the final section they deal with women in the new community of the early church, and grapple with some of the more controversial writings of the apostle Paul.
Mindful of the complexities, challenges and debates, the authors seek to approach the Bible with humility and integrity, while addressing vitally relevant issues for Christians today with clarity and confidence.
