The Village Shepherd
Beyond Outward Appearances
Sermon
The Bible doesn't have too much to say about women, and those it does mention are very often there because of their notoriety. There are of course obvious exceptions such as the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, and her cousin Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, and those early Christian women barely mentioned in Luke and in the Acts of the Apostles. But throughout the Bible, as far as women are concerned, there seems to be a disproportionately heavy emphasis on prostitutes and sinners and other adulterous women.
