Sisters in Scripture
exploring the relationships of biblical women
by Kathleen MacInnis Kichline
This book is intended as a group scripture study. It focuses on the lives and relationships of biblical women as a way of accessing the text for modern readers. Through it women explore their own relationship to God and to others in their lives. Prayer is woven throughout the study, thoughtful reflection questions help readers connect God's Word with their own lives, and tools of biblical scholarship are introduced that allow readers to explore the historical context, literary form, and multiple layers of meaning within scripture.

Book Details
First Sentence
"In order to understand the story of Sarah, we need to look at the larger story of her husband, Abraham. Abraham is a giant not only in scripture, in the story of the Hebrew people, and in the history of all three major monotheistic religions, but also in the history of he human race. With Abraham, God breaks through to human consciousness. The Creator of heaven and earth chooses to become known and to enter into a relationship, which is called the covenant. This covenant or sacred, binding, mutual promise is made not only with Abraha but, through Abraham, with his discendants and, through them, with all humanity."
