Women of the Bible: Hidden in Plain SIght
Fridays, April 10, 17 & 24 • 3pm-4:30pm U.S. CDT
You already know the women of the bible, right?
Or at least—you’ve been told that you do.
What if the story has always been bigger… and we were just taught a smaller version?
The Bible didn’t lose its women. We did.
Not through conspiracy.
Through translation. Through interpretation. Through centuries of telling the story in ways that felt safer, smaller, more controlled.
And over time, something subtle happened:
- Voices faded.
- Names shifted.
- Stories narrowed.
- But they’re still there.
Waiting to be seen again.
This is not a “women of the Bible” overview.
This is a re-reading. A deep, honest look at:
- what the text actually says
- what later tradition emphasized or ignored
- and how those choices shaped what we think we know
What You’ll Discover
- Why more than 90 women appear in scripture—but most of us can name only a few
- How translation choices changed meaning (including a female apostle turned into a man)
- The role of women as leaders, funders, prophets, and disruptors
- What happens when we read the text without inherited assumptions
- Midwives who defied empire
- A judge who led a nation into battle
