Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women

Hey! I'm one of the co-authors of "Worthy." Thanks for your interest in the book. Let me tell you a little bit about it: 1) What is "Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women"? It is a biblical theology of women, tracing their place in redemptive history, seeing and celebrating how God has used them in the storyline of the Bible. 2) Who is it for? "Worthy" is for everyone—Christian or not, man or woman. We especially hope that men will read it, as the value of women is an issue that men should care about deeply. We hope that non-Christians (who may be skeptical of how the Bible treats women) will come to see that the Bible (rightly interpreted) values and celebrates women. 3) Why did we write it? We wrote "Worthy" to demonstrate that a conservative reading of the Bible (one that treats the Bible as God's inspired and authoritative Word, reading it on its own terms) results in a high view of women. We wanted to demonstrate that, from beginning to end, women are integral and indispensable in God's plan of redemption. We believe that valuing women is essential to ending their mistreatment in the world, church, workplace, and home. 4) What do we hope results? We hope that "Worthy" leaves readers with a high view of the value of women in the world, church, and home. We pray that it drives readers back to the Bible to see for themselves what God has to say about women. If it sends you back into the Word to see the value of women in God's redemptive plan, we will be happy (even if you disagree with us on a few details).
