Abstract

This chapter exegetically dives deep into the Bible to evaluate the role of women and the relationship between the historical context and modern-day presumptions that exist. A review of named females in the Bible will include the likes of Bathsheba, Deborah, Mary Magdalene, and many others. Additionally, an examination of the unnamed women in the Bible will take place. Scrutiny of the omission of women in the Bible will add credence to the historical context of women’s roles in history. The exegetical analysis will assist with examining the modern-day role of women regarding their rights, roles, and responsibilities in society. A comparison between historical context and modern-day virtues will also be observed.
