Women in the Bible, Episode 7: Women in the Times of the Judges
There are few women who have significant political power in the Bible. The few who do have such power in the Bible are either seen as villains (see Athaliah), or she has power because of her marriage (see Esther), or both (see Jezebel). But in Judges, we are introduced to Deborah. She is the only judge of Israel who is female, and is also the only judge whose reign actually looks more like a "judge" than a military leader. She is, therefore, one of the most significant females in the text of Scripture. In this episode, we will look at her career, and also look at all the women who factor into the events in the Book of Judges.
