I feel that is was very informative and gave a lot of historical information that a lot of normal people today don't know about good read to open your eyes about the females in the bible.

🖤 Book Review 🖤

🖤 Daughter's Of Eve by Martyn and Esther Whittock

🖤 Thank you @netgalley for my copy!

🖤 Publication Date, March 19 2021

🖤 Women play an immensely important role in the Bible: from Eve to the Virgin Mary, Sarah to Mary Magdalene, Naomi to the anonymous woman suffering severe menstrual bleeding who was healed by Jesus. They are a sisterhood of faith.

🖤 I picked up this book expecting to be told about each woman in bible and how she was treated be Jesus and her story. Instead I had picked up a book that really explored their relationships, reputations and how they would have been treated in the year 2021.

🖤 The author shows us that translation had been biased towards women in many cases, Genesis 3:16 for example, painful childbirth is the general consensus but of translated from Hebrew correctly it means, I will make great your toil and many your pregnancies.
The author explains that due to the translations by men, women have suffered.

🖤 This book was a great read but I was expecting more of a story rather than a history of the Women in the Bible. I was hoping to gain more understanding about the women rather than their history. Maybe better suited for historical reading rather than an understanding of the women of the Bible.

I was expecting more of a story rather than a history of the Women in the Bible. I will recommend this to historians or those who enjoy nonfiction books.

Very informative, the author gives direct scriotural interpretation to several of the bible's most important ancestral women leading up to the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
However, not sure of the author's denominational background,, most of what she and he suggest ( their opinions of womens roles in biblical times) seems somewhat biblically sound, even though a few suggestions they make may leave cause for ponder.
