Often the women of the Bible are hidden behind the men, but in this book they get all the headlines: Hagar - becoming a subject in her own life. Rebecca - where did she get her strength from? Lydia - A businesswoman who takes chances...
I'm a bit puzzled as to what the purpose of this book was. Basically it was just a woman's opinion on what the different women of the Bible said to her. Interesting to be sure, but I have a hard time seeing how it's relevant to anybody other than her, and what show more I could actually learn from it. Didn't even agree with all her conclusions and others were so obvious (I thought) as to not really warrant a mention. Still short enough and - despite everything - interesting enough that I finished it, but I wouldn't recommend it to anybody (wouldn't not recommend it either - it's just utterly insignificant). show less

Persönliche Erfahrungen bewogen die Autorin, eine mehrfach ausgezeichnete schwedische Schriftstellerin, das Tun biblischer Frauengestalten neu zu überdenken. Mit großem Einfühlungsvermögen legt sie am Beispiel von 15 Frauen dar, dass deren Verhalten - beschrieben von Männern in einer von Männern dominierten Welt - sehr viel Eigenständiges, z.T. die damalige Gesellschaft Provozierendes zeigt. So schildert sie u.a. - stets mit Bezug zur Gegenwart -, wie die selbstbewusste Rebekka den show more Konflikt zwischen ihren Kindern Esau und Jakob schürt und erst im Alter ihre Grenzen erkennt, wie Maria durch ihr Ja aus dem Gewohnten ausbricht, sich geradlinig zum Handeln entschließt und gemeinsam mit Elisabet ihre Schwangerschaft bejubelt und wie Maria von Magdala, motiviert durch Liebe und Hingabe, eine völlig neue emotionale Zugehörigkeit schafft und dem Evangelium Jesu eine übergreifende Ganzheit (Verstand, Gefühl, Seele, Körper) verleiht. show less
