Following on from her bestselling books Women of Holy Week and Women of the Nativity, Paula Gooder retells nine Biblical stories of Jesus's encounters with women.
Imagining these figures following Jesus to Jerusalem and telling their stories together, Paula introduces us to women who break the rules to be near Jesus, speak to him for longer than any male character recorded, and even stand up to him. Accompanied by paintings by priest-artist Ally Barrett, Women of the Gospels invites you to walk alongside:
- Simon's mother-in-law
- The Syrophoenician woman
- The woman with the haemorrhage
- Jairus' daughter
- The woman bent double
- The widow from Nain
- The Samaritan woman
- The women who supported Jesus financially
Women of the Gospels is an inspiring devotional read for individuals and groups, for use at any time of year.
Paula Gooder is a writer and biblical scholar whose many books make her expertise accessible to a wide readership. She is Canon Chancellor of St Paul’s Cathedral, London.
