Witches, Wives, and Whores: (In)Famous Women of the Bible
Week 2 | July 5–7 | Hultquist Center 201A | Ages: 16+
Explore the exotic women of the Bible that you once thought you knew — or never learned about at all. From Jezebel to Rahab to the most ideal woman of Proverbs, discover these ancient women and their "scandals" and see what wisdom we can glean from them for our modern lives. Text study and discussion will open the Bible wider for us. Not for women only!
Students should bring a Bible if they have one.
