"I love this new study on Women in the New Testament from Little Rock Scripture Study! The cultural background, archaeological information, and extra details like the chart of all the 'Marys' in the New Testament are wonderful! The questions at the end of each lesson are well-written and help us reflect on what we’ve learned. And I especially like the author’s questions found throughout the commentary as they help us be 'in the moment' as we are reading and learning. I can’t wait to see how others in our diocesan women’s ministry respond to this study!"Leigh Tenkku Lepper, Facilitator, Women’s Ministry Coalition, Diocese of Jefferson City
