A Feminist Lectionary and Psalter
This companion volume to 'WomanWord', which presented services of the word for each of the women of the New Testament, looks at women of the Hebrew Scriptures, both women whose stories have been told - like Eve and Sarah and Rebekah - and women whose stories must be told, like Cozbi and Zipporah and Keturah.
The book includes readings, psalms, prayers, biographical information on the figure celebrated, and background on the historical and scriptural context. The lectionary reading itself is followed by a section for shared reflection, which will be especially useful as discussion-starters for worship groups.
The original psalms for each celebration are designed to be prayed responsively. Included are 'A Psalm Of Grace In Unexpected Places', 'A Psalm In Praise Of Heroines', 'A Psalm For Those Passed Over', and 'Because-I-Am-A-Woman Psalm'.
