Book Overview

Barbara Essex brings to life the Bible's "bad girls"--notorious women we love to hate.

Exploring lives filled with betrayal, deception, rejection, jealousy, and exploitation, Essex looks beyond the notoriety to show us women of exceptional boldness, courage, determination, and independence. These stories tell us about women we know--women not that different from ourselves. This twelve-week study is designed for women and men, laity and clergy,...

Don't Bash

Spiritually misguided- in your point of view, maybe. Jezebel was very religiously committed- just not to your religion. In defense of Jezebel, how many people of different faith did your God command the Israelites to kill? Please tell me, why is Jezebel any worse for defending her religion? This book is good for an audience that wants an enlighted, factual understanding of the historically "bad" women of the Bible.

Please note two different books...

There is some confusion because there are two books with the same title. Bad Girls of the Bible by Barbara Essex is terrific! She uses sound biblical interpretation to help us uncover the "real" story of infamous biblical women. She goes beneath the surface and uses history, archeology and other tools to get at the heart of the women's stories. She doesn't berate them, but helps us see their more positive qualities even though they are being used to move the biblical story forward. This book is fabulous!
