Women in the Old Testament: Issues of Authority, Power and Justice

W. Dennis Tucker, jr

George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University, Waco, Texas, USA

This article provides an interpretative lens through which the women in the Old Testament might be viewed. Central to this approach is the descriptive task, which in this case suggests that women did occupy places of power within Israelite society. But in addition, such a reading contributes to the prescriptive task, raising the larger questions of justice and equity.
