From the birth of John the Baptist, to the death and resurrection of Jesus, to the growth of the early church, women play an integral role in New Testament history. What can we learn from the women of the New Testament? What were they like, what qualities do they embody, and how were their lives much like our own?

This classic by Dr. Abraham Kuyper offers thirty character sketches that radiate scriptural insight. Based on a specific passage of Scripture and concluding with discussion questions, each meditation shows the interweaving of faith--or lack of faith--with the various concerns of life. Though they lived centuries ago, the women of the New Testament are like us in many ways. Drawing from their wisdom and their mistakes, their nobility and their treachery, Women of the New Testament furnishes life lessons that withstand the test of time.
