She is the author of one of my favorite all-time books on the Bible called The Ethic of Eden a Christian entry into the Old

Testament. It's absolutely outstanding and also she's coming out with a forthcoming study called

Deborah unlikely heroes and the book of judges it's the Bible. forthcoming study

and the book of judges. It's a Bible study with a streaming video

We dig deep into judges chapter 4 and chapter five to some extent look at the

story of the judge and prophetess Deborah and then we ask broader questions

about female profits in the Old Testament and what

implications that has for understanding women in leadership as a whole.
