Description

God's heart for women is revealed through a captivating study of the gospels. A first look at the conversations recorded between Jesus and women can be rather disconcerting. Where is the loving Savior in his demand for the hemorrhaging woman to make her embarrassing ailment public? How could a man of compassion call the Syro-Phoenician woman a dog? Why would headdress his mother "Woman"and refuse to help her? Do these conversations and others depict a Savior who was insensitive and even dismissing to women in general? Unexpected Loveoffers solutions gleaned from historical, cultural, and contextual sources, resulting in an interpretation that reveals a fresh perspective and the sometimes surprising truth. It moves the reader past the usual shallow interpretations to find the heart of Christ.
