God's Forgotten Daughter: What If Jesus Had Been a Woman? (The Women's Series)

Re-imagining women's history in order to reclaim it, Katherine Schneider-Aker employs the age old Jewish rabbinical device of the midrash, a commentary on Scripture that takes off from the text in order to reflect upon its meaning. In this extraordinary narratve, an imaginary twin sister of Jesus, "D'vorah" recreates the world of biblical times through the perspective of female lens. As Jesus tells the good news to men, "D'vorah" brings it to the forgotten, abused and undervalued women of that time and culture.
