Description: While women play a key role in the life and ministry of Jesus, they make only sporadic or tangential appearances in the stories of the Old Testament. In this presentation, we will meet those who through faith and fortitude were able to advance salvation history, despite obstacles and outside interference. Among them are Sarah, the wife of Abraham; Rebekka, the mother of Jacob and Esau; Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron; Deborah, a judge and leader of her people; Ruth, the companion of Naomi; and the midwives of the Hebrews, Shiprah and Puah, along with Moses’ mother, Jochebed. The hope is to detect in the stories of these women a common thread that might strengthen and empower our own walk of faith in Christ.
