Question
I am also researching women in the world’s religions but I am trying to find passages from the Bible that depict women in a positive way. Can you suggest a few to help me?
Answer
Abraham is told to listen to the voice of Sarah (we understand that her level of prophecy was greater than his.)Deborah praises Yael for her role in the defeat of Sisera (Judges) and tells Barak that the glory for Israel’s victory will be given to a woman.
I especially recommend the last chapter of Proverbs dealing with the virtuous woman.
