In this provocative collection of dramatic monologues, the author gives powerful voice to the New Testament women who met Jesus before and after the Resurrection.There are many powerful women in the Bible, but their descriptions are almost always tantalizingly brief. If they had the chance to tell their own stories in their own voices, what would they have said? Basing her interpretation of these women on extensive research, Katerina Whitley puts herself in their shoes, giving today’s listeners a fuller understanding of each of their stories.

The women explored, some well-known and others less familiar, include the Virgin Mary, Miriam, Mary Magdalene, Elizabeth, the Syrophoenician or Canaanite woman, Lydia, Ruth, Martha, Gomer, Michal, Tamar, and Peter’s wife. Each woman speaks for herself in these monologues, in a way that brings the biblical issues and questions into contemporary focus. An introduction to each woman and study questions at the end of each piece make this an ideal book for individuals and groups.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Katerina Whitley has given life to biblical women who have been little more than names to us all our lives. Like Dorothy Sayers, she has used the freedom of imagination to bring the tradition of our faith closer to modern people. There is no greater pleasure than seeing something familiar as if for the first time and, in seeing it so, finding it dear."
―Barbara Cawthorne Crafton, author of The Sewing Room

"The author...discovered that women audience identified strongly with the experience of women characters in the New Testament. That lead to the enticing format of this popular-level book...Reflection questions at the end of each chapter encourage the reader to draw the experience into one's own life."
―Diane Bergant C.S.A., The Bible Today

"A collection of dramatic monologues that tell the stories of many of the women whom we know only as mothers, daughters or wives. Part biblical interpretation and part icon, the book celebrates their heartaches and joys in a way that is intimate and moving."
―Episcopal Life

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Katerina Katsarka Whitley was born in Thessaloniki, Greece and studied in the U.S. The Greek gift of story-telling featured large in her upbringing so it was inevitable that she would devote herself to writing and drama. Her first five books on biblical themes are told as dramatic monologues which she performs in churches and before other groups. She especially loves leading retreats and teaching writing. A teacher and musician, she now devotes herself to writing books. Her cookbook, Around a Greek Table, Recipes and Stories, is delighting those who have been to Greece and those who long to visit there. Staying with the Greek theme, Katerina has written on the first Christian churches in Greece, in the novel, A New Love. And now she has added to the Greek theme with her memoir, Myth and Memory, my Childhood in WWII Greece. She lives in Boone, North Carolina.

Katrina is a marvel at bringing these wonderful narratives that teach and bring us so close to the people of Bible Times as well as the Savior. I have learned in ways I never even though about. Waiting for the Wonder is the best but this is a close second..

Experiential Bible Study Resource

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

A second offering of dramatic monologues by Katerina Whitley inviting the reader into the hearts and minds of Biblical women who experienced knowing Jesus. SEEING FOR OURSELVES takes women who are mentioned in scripture, often in off-handed ways, and infuses spirit, passion, and faith in the stories of these women whose lives were changed by knowing Jesus. Each offering is grounded in scriptural passages, filled with cultural references. and written to be read aloud, shared with others, and experienced. An excellent resource for women's Bible studies, Lenten offerings, or individual study and prayer.
