title: Women in Scripture: A Dictionary of Named and Unnamed Women in the Hebrew Bible, the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books, and the New Testament
author: Carol L. Meyers
description: This splendid reference describes every woman in Jewish and Christian scripture--with or without names--plus female dieties and personifications. The many "unnamed" women--identified by their husband or other family member, by their place or town, by their action, etc.--comprise the largest grouping in this comprehensive work and distinguish it from earlier treatments of biblical women. The succinct articles frequently unite women (e.g., when Noadiah is identified as one of four named female Hebrew prophets, the others are also named) or compare treatment of women in similar categories (e.g., women with bodily emissions in Leviticus and Ezekiel). Frequent cross-referencing and bibliographical suggestions enrich the entries. Useful essays on biblical scholarship, biblical literature, and biblical naming enhance the volume. Many books identify women in the Bible, but none is as comprehensive as this current and meticulous resource. A monumental reference work that resurrects women from anonymity, this is essential for all public, academic, and seminary libraries.<BR><I>-Carolyn M.
