"This is it--the one indispensable resource for anyone seriously
interested in understanding the hundreds of women who appear in the
Bible. Balanced, accurate, and fascinating to peruse and consult."
Roland E. Murphy
"By means of adroit organization and close textual reading, the
invisible have become visible; the hidden influence of women, named
and unnamed, in biblical times is now manifest from the hundreds of
entries in this handy encyclopedia." Susannah Heschel
"This is the most thorough and systematic survey ever undertaken of
women in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. The editors have
gathered articles by the finest scholars, who present the most
up-to-date results of biblical scholarship on women. An
indispensable companion for anyone studying the Bible." The
Christian Science Monitor
"Women in Scripture is a remarkable reference book here to stay."
Publishers Weekly
"Prophets, poets, prostitutes -- and all other women named and
unnamed in the Bible -- are finally given their due in what is not
your usual biblical dictionary." Library Journal
"Splendid. . . A monumental reference work that resurrects women
from anonymity."
