Black is Blessed: A Study of Black / African Women and Men in Scripture
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | January 31, 1992
The Bible says very clearly that black is beautiful (Song of Solomon 1:5). But as I studied the black persons mentioned in Scripture more carefully, I found another message—the Bible implies that black is blessed. Not that being black automatically makes you blessed, but these people had an unusual way of reaching out to God— [...]

Old Testament Prophets as Types for New Testament Leaders
By: Francis H. Geis | April 30, 1991
If God could call and equip women for this office and ministry without violating their roles as wives and mothers in ancient Israel, why can He not do so in the Church today? Indeed, in light of what Joel 2:28-32 has to say about the Messianic Age, the “New Age of Prophecy”, these OT women [...]

Who is a Virtuous Woman?
By: Karen Mason | January 30, 1990

This Hebrew expression occurs only three times in the Old Testament, but a study of these three passages is likely to reveal what the Bible supports [...]
Ten Christian Women
By: Elizabeth Myers | July 31, 1988
Junia, the female companion of Andronicus, has the unique distinction (for one of her sex) of being referred to by St. Paul as an apostle (Romans 16:7). Although she was one of Paul’s relatives, coming to faith ahead of her more famous kinsman, we know but little about her ministry.
