Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Winter, a well-known liturgical scholar and composer of verbal and musical liturgical texts, takes the women of the New Testament and creates liturgical rituals to celebrate womanhood. Each text is preceded by scriptural references, a biographical sketch of the New Testament woman who inspired the text, and a contextual background, as well as songs, prayers, reflections, and benedictions. One becomes aware of how much the experience of women in Christian scripture has been ignored in later Christian tradition and how much androcentric religion has excluded women's perspectives. Highly recommended for seminary and public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Treasure of Women in the New Testament, September 29, 2000

This review is from: WomanWord: A Feminist Lectionary and Psalter on Women of the New Testament (Paperback)

Woman Word is a treasure of Women's stories from the New Testament. Each woman is described biographically, then within context historically and according to her place within scripture. An inclusive lectionary reading of the scripture passages follows with an original psalm and prayer. The points for shared reflection accompanying each woman provide thoughtful reflection for solitary prayer or group discussion. The illustrations help to bring these women to life! I cannot recommend this book enough for those who are seeking to expand their relationship with a God who transcends gender and calls us to step outside the boundaries that limit our vision.
