Vindicating The Vixens Sandra Glahn by Sandra Glahn instant download after payment.

The church has a long history of viewing prominent women of the Bible through a skewed interpretive lens. Eve is best known for causing the fall, Sarah is blamed for tensions in the Middle East, Ruth acted scandalously on the threshing floor, and Mary Magdalene is infamous for a life of prostitution. But do these stories accurately reflect what Scripture says about these and other women of the Bible? 

Sarah Glahn and an international team of both male and female scholars challenge these superficial treatments, and contend that we have often missed what biblical authors intended to convey about notable women of Scripture. While the tendency has been to sexualize and marginalize them, Scripture speaks to God's concern for their outsider status. 

Drawing on the latest scholarship, the contributors dispel myths about numerous women of the Bible, and demonstrate how a more accurate understanding leads us to a deeper, more biblical knowledge of God, women, and men.
