Review Quotes

"This series is a gift to all scholars, teachers, religious, clergy, and laity who study scripture and invites all--women, men and nonbinary persons to read and hear it in new ways."

An important work of great value for liturgists, preachers, and prayer groups. Even if used only as a tool to reencounter God's word, it will provoke thought and new considerations that can enrich preaching. A recommended addition to seminary and parish libraries and large theology collections.


In this marvelous final addition, Dr. Gafney gives our Bible back to us, overflowing with fascinating characters, a God worth believing in, and guidance to carry her wisdom into the pulpit.
