The basic human rights enjoyed by women in the Western World can be attributed to the spread of Christianity. Jesus set the standard for how women should be treated over two millennia ago. In this Jesus and women Bible study, you will explore several accounts in the gospels were Jesus interacted with women by digging into the scriptures but also studying the historical and cultural contexts.
My Philosophy on Bible Studies
Like all my other studies, the Jesus Empowered Women study is designed to help you form your own conclusions, so always start asking the Holy Spirit to guide you. There are sections where I will provide greater historical, cultural, and biblical context, but I do believe that God created you to read and understand His Word. We can all be theologians. If you feel like you do not know the answer to a question, that is okay. If you came to a different conclusion, that is okay too. I may be the one who is wrong!!
I do provide tools such as charts and maps throughout the study to help you frame your analysis. And I do frame questions to help you consider angles you may not have thought of while reading the material.
There are few study principles I follow that helped me put this study together (and pray you will follow them too).
- Let the easy-to-understand scriptures help explain more difficult verses.
- Historical, cultural, and biblical context matters.
- Don’t put your thoughts into the scriptures, let the scriptures reframe your thoughts.
