Believers today are facing a profound spiritual poverty—an ignorance of the women who shaped their faith and an incomplete understanding of the God those women faithfully served. The inspired writers of the Old Testament mention over one hundred women by name and countless others in passing. Yet, how many of us know the stories of these women and the God who wrote them?

There are the women who proclaimed the good news of God, prophesied truth to power, protected Israel from her enemies, relentlessly interceded for God to act, and passed along a living faith in the God who did. Each of these women and their stories find a place in God's redemptive plan for his creation. In Ancient Israel's Women of Faith, Claude Mariottini introduces listeners to a fresh reading of Scripture that takes seriously these stories. He challenges anachronistic, modern readings of the text by providing helpful contextual information, including nuances in the original language, histories of translation, and observations on the cultural, political, legal, economic, and religious landscapes of their time.

Listeners will walk away with new insights, questions, and areas for research, but, more importantly, they''ll walk away with a new understanding of the God of Ancient Israel's Women of Faith.
