Is The Bible Good For Women? by Wendy Alsup

"Is it possible to embrace the inherent dignity of womanhood while still cherishing the Bible?" is the question posed at the back of this book. The answer is a resounding yes! Wendy Alsup does a excellent job of explaining Scripture through a Jesus-centered understanding. She takes the reader through the Bible and answers questions such as "How did Jesus approach the Bible?"; "What was good in the beginning?"; "How did it all go wrong?"; and "Are Peter's and Paul's instructions good for women? " Emphasis is placed on the need to start from the beginning of the Bible to understand God's heart and purpose for women.

I found this well researched and timely book to be very informative
. There are questions at the end of the book to use it in a small group setting. I would recommend this to anyone who is uncertain about how God views women and the feminism that the Scripture models.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
