Summary

Leah, Rachel, Sarah, Rebeccah, Jezebel...the names of these Biblical women have been familiar to us since childhood. In this remarkable book, scholar Naomi Rosenblatt injects new life into these characters, retelling their stories in loving detail, and examining their relevance. Through her lens, we revisit these women-and their men-and view them with a new understanding, marveling at the very modern dilemmas and problems they confront and explore.
