 Women in the Bible – Part 3 - Presenter: Dawn Mayer 

By Mary Mosser, FSC Associate

​

Part 3 of Women in the Bible included stories about women from the New Testament. During Jesus’ time, society was patriarchal; men were seen as superior to women. However, Jesus valued women and men equally.

 

Dawn gave us two questions to keep in mind during her presentation: How did these women help move the story of Jesus forward? and How did these women help move the story of the Church forward?
