Women of the Bible - Introduction & List of Women

Category
Let us look at the lives of 54 out of 197 women of the Scripture, some are prominent and some are not so prominent. All these women offer a fresh perspective on the story of salvation. The cast of characters include prostitutes, evil queens, prophetesses, wealthy women, abused women, single and married women, and widows-young and old. Their stories reveal so much about God's love, his relentless jealousy, and his creative ability to bring good out of the most desperate circumstances.

We are going to look into the stories of 37 women from the Old testament, and 17 women from the New Testament. In this discussion the Scripture doesn't say the names of 10 women of OT and 5 women of NT. Though we are familiar with many names of Bible women, many of us fail to recognize many women of the Bible.

I am going to give below all the 54 names alphabetically but the Topics are published in somewhat order of admirable and prominent characters among the Bible women.

Try to identify,
a)their location in the Bible
