Session 14 - Lesser Known Women in the Bible

2-02-25 Biblical-Literacy Dr. David Capes led another lesson of Lessor Known Women ofthe Bible with an interview of Dr. Nancy Dawson, author of All the Genealogies of the Bible. Dr. Lawson received her doctorate in biology and always held an interest in theology. In this lesson she focused on three of the five women named in Matthew 1 who are part of the line of Jesus’ genealogy. These three woman held the genealogy line for Judah: Tamar: Gentile not a Jew. Rahab: Gentile not a Jew Bathsheba: Jew and wife of Uriah. She held a special place in both the paternal/legal and biological genealogies of Jesus. Listen to Dr. Dawson explain the culture and customs of the times that placed these women in Jesus’s genealogy with stories of repentance and symbolism. Points for home: God works through all things to complete His purpose. We must have faithful hope in God’s plan. We are the privileged people to study God’s word and live for Him.l
