In Search of God’s Ideal Woman

Throughout history and across cultures the models for ideal woman have varied enormously. But they have all been models invented by men and women, and today they are all up for grabs.

This is the question that set Dorothy Pape to search the New Testament and much of the Old for an answer. She has examined the concept of woman in the Gospels, Acts and the Epistles, carefully analyzing each text that bears on the question. And she shirks none of the difficult passages.
