Synopsis

Remembering the Women embraces what has been omitted by the two major lectionaries of western Christianity. This book contains both the stories that are told in church and the ones that are forgotten.

Discover hundreds of sciptural passages witnessing to the presence of women in the Bible. Find stories that use feminine images of God, stories about named and unnamed women, stories that use imagery based on the physical life of women, and stories that refer to the female figure of holy Wisdom. Also included are essays by Jean Campbell, OSH, Ruth Fox, OSB, and Eileen Schuller, OSU, that further explore the topic of women in the Bible and in the lectionary.

You are invited into the beautiful and inspiring, sometimes difficult and painful, women's stories of heritage, stories that allow our community to see itself as a whole people once again.

Remembering the Women is ideal for groups praying in common, for inspiring sermons and homilies, for preparing liturgies for which specific reading are not prescribed by the churches, and for personal reflection and discussion.

Review:

Easily accessible, there-is-no-excuse for those who follow the lectionary to miss the useful cues on how to read the texts. -- WATERwheel-Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics, and Ritual, Summer 2003, Vol 16 No 2
