Staff Review: In this book Rebecca Jones decries the prominent conceptions of womanhood in our culture as confused and self-destructive. In their place, she turns the reader to the Bible, seeking to answer the question, "What is a woman?" by finding the role and significance of women within the biblical story of salvation. What makes her book a unique and valuable contribution to this issue is that she does not merely deal with standard isolated passages, but traces the question through the whole story of Scripture, demonstrating a strong redemptive-historical hermeneutic. Thus, she helps the reader see the meaning of womanhood (and, to a large extent, manhood!) as integrally related to - even vitally connected to - the gospel. - Jim Weidenaar, Westminster Bookstore Staff, March 2006
