Daughters of the King: Women of the Bible who Changed History
In this inspiring and thought-provoking study of women in the Bible, Jack Vogt unpacks the influence of the cultural context on the writers of scripture and uses this to present both genders as critical and equal members of the body of Christ.
Beginning with the first three chapters of Genesis, Mr. Vogt demonstrates how the ideal, harmonious situation God designed was upset by the fall, ushering in centuries of patriarchal societies in which men “ruled” over women. He then explores characters of the Old and New Testaments, comparing their stories to the Genesis model. Through these women, God seeks to advance his kingdom, in which male and female live in unity.
Rich in research and established on a foundation of scripture, Daughters of the King is a Bible study that challenges traditional thinking and opens the door to a new understanding of the role of women in church work and leadership as it trumpets a return to God’s original, ideal plan.

Lectura obligada. No solo tenemos un análisis de las mujeres célebres de la Biblia, sino tenemos una perspectiva, muchas veces malinterpretada, del papel de la mujer en las iglesias de hoy. El estilo del autor es impecable y nos hace desear que continúe con otros temas. ¡Debemos seguirlo!

Lots to think about!
Understanding the cultural setting of the stories makes a huge difference to how we view the women of the Bible and the teaching about women in the Bible. This book makes us re-evaluate the traditional teaching of women's roles.
