Wisdom's Daughters

By Elizabeth G. Watson

Book Overview

From the nativity to the resurrection, from the healings on the road to the teachings at the well, the lives of women shine prominently in the Gospel. In Wisdom's Daughters, Elizabeth Watson tells the life of Jesus through the real and imagined accounts of Mary Magdalene, Elizabeth, Martha, Mary the Mother, and ten others, shedding new light on the Gospel stories, affirming the undeniable presence of women in the early community of disciples--and painting a breathtaking image of the relationship between Jesus and women. Each chapter includes Scripture references, commentary on the biblical scholarship, and questions for personal reflection or group dialogue.

Excellent! A wonderful, new look at some old stories.

Elizabeth Watson has done a beautiful job of bringing the women around Jesus to life. She has artfully combined biblical accounts and research to allow us an opportunity to not only learn about these women, but to learn from them, and to love them.
