HOUSEWIVES, HARLOTS AND HEROINES: A STUDY OF WOMEN IN THE BOOK OF JUDGES, is our adult education program for Winter, 2009.  Paul Meltzer, Pastor Emeritus of Millburn Church, will lead the discussion.  The class will meet five consecutive Thursdays, January 22 through February 19, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.  From Paul’s description: “It is not hard to find examples of women who played central roles in biblical stories:  Sarah, Esther and Jesus’ mother, Mary, to name only three.  One of the least expected places for women’s stories in the Bible is the book of Judges.  All but one of the extended stories in the book of Judges (the story of Gideon) depends on the actions of women who play central roles.  Not all the women in the book of Judges are named. They range from strong wives who counsel and support their spouses as equals to victims of abuse.  Some shape history; others are shaped by circumstances.  Some are heroes; some are villains.  Some have no names; some have famous names.  In other words, these women, though separated from us by more than three thousand years and different cultures and circumstances, have much in common with people of our own era.  They struggled with questions of values and faith with which people still grapple.  As we learn more about these women we are also learning about ourselves and how our faith shapes our lives and our world.”  A sign-up sheet is posted in Lauren Hall.
