Women in the Bible – Part 1 - Presenter: Dawn Mayer
by Marry Mosser, FSC Associate

​Dawn started our day with the St. Francis of Assisi Peace Prayer. Next, we played a Women of the Hebrew Scriptures matching game. Dawn warned us that this was probably the most difficult matching game she had created for us. As I was only able to match two women with their stories, I anticipated that this would be a beneficial presentation for me. Dawn shared some interesting facts with us. There are 956 – 1181 men and 166 – 205 women named in Scripture. Of the named women, 93 speak. Women in Scripture have many different roles – wife, mother, widow, slave, prostitute, leader, judge concubine. In the Old Testament, women only had one husband, but men could have many wives. When a woman married, she joined her husband’s household.
