Great Book

While visiting St. Vincent Seminary, I bought this book after gaining an interest in women in the Bible from a class on Women in the Pilgrim Church. This by far is the best one I have found about the New Testament women. It includes very relevant scripture passeages and is not afraid to say some things others have been. I highly reccomend this book for anyone interested in the Bible, women of the Bible or their faith in general.
