Images of Faith : Spirituality of Women in the Old Testament

---

Outline: This book presents a re-reading of the stories of Old Testament women, highlighting their spirituality and exploring their experiences in the light of third-world women today. In Part One, the author discusses the stories of eight Old Testament women: Hagar, Rahab, Jephthah's daughter, Ruth and Naomi, Abigail, and the two unnamed women of 2 Kings. In her meditations of these images of faith, the author draws attention to the all-too-similar experiences of crisis and abandonment, oppression and injustice, poverty and ignorance, prejudice and isolation, which form the disturbing and poignant links between these Old Testament women and their sisters today. Part Two is devoted to prayers by six other women of the Old Testament: Miriam, Hannah, Deborah, Esther, Judith, and Susanna. These prayers invite the reader to join in and to see through the eyes of these women who, though of a world long ago and far away, still speak for and to the reader today.
