In Bible times, Jewish women were treated as second-class citizens. And under Roman law, women weren’t even considered citizens or given legal rights. Popular Greek philosophers—who dominated thought in Jewish culture—marginalized women, with some even calling them dangerous. Men could commit adultery while others turned a blind eye, while women who did such could be …
March is Women’s History Month, a 31-day stretch celebrating women. Not only does this particular month celebrate them, but as Billy Graham once wrote in a My Answer post, “Jesus honored women and made them an important part of His ministry.” Women, made in God’s image just as man was, remain a pivotal and precious part of Jesus’ ministry even …
