About this listen

Not only is the Bible full of strong women… it is full of strong black women. While it is often underplayed by mainstream Christianity, the majority of the Bible took place in Africa, and involved many women of color. In this study we'll look at the lives and lineages of the following women:

  • Hagar: Abraham's Egyptian wife
  • Tamar: The Canaanite mother of Judah's twin sons
  • Miriam: The older sister of Moses
  • Zipporah: Moses' Midianite wife
  • Bathsheba: King Solomon's Canaanite mother
  • Jezebel: King Ahab's wife from the line of Ham
  • The Queen of Sheba: The Ethiopia queen that came to visit King Solomon
  • Mary Magdalene: The woman with seven devils cast out by Christ

The presence of these women in the Bible is often a sticking point for many because most of them descended from the line of Ham. Those that didn't come from the line of Ham were Hebrews, which were often mistaken as descendants of Ham.

If you've never done a study on who these women are, which lines they come from, and the roles they play in history, then make sure you grab this book.
