A Woman’s Place Is in the Story: Seeing Women in the Biblical Narrative
Sandra Glahn
( IVP Academic )
We Misread the Bible When Women Are Left Out
Ignore them, marginalize them, or dismiss them as brief cameos—these have long been common approaches to Christian teaching on the women of the Bible. The result? We miss their significance in the biblical story and, in turn, misunderstand Scripture itself. Scholar Sandra Glahn challenges this pattern, calling readers to recognize how biblical narrative actually works. When we do, we see that women are not incidental to thestory but essential to it.
In A Woman’s Place Is in the Story, Glahn models how we can better read stories in their literary context and understand why the original authors included what they did. She reexamines both well-known and neglected passages, such as Tamar and Judah, the Hebrew midwives, Abigail, and the Samaritan woman at the well. Even when they appear briefly, women in Scripture move the plot forward and reveal profound truths about who God is.
In this book, you’ll explore
– how leaving women out of the biblical story changes the plot and meaning that was intended,
– how distorting women as they appear in the biblical story affects the way we view women in general, and
– how misunderstanding how women appear in the story affects the way we view God.
Women have always been part of the whole story of God. With A Woman’s Place Is in the Story, discover how rightly seeing women in the biblical narrative leads to more faithful interpretation and application for the benefit of all God’s people.
It’s time to tell the whole story.

Ready to Preach: An Introduction to Homiletics
Matthew D. Kim
( Baker Academic )
Preach with Confidence, Clarity, and Conviction
This introductory homiletics textbook gives students and pastors a step-by-step process for crafting and communicating biblical sermons that are theologically grounded, culturally aware, and spiritually formed.
Leading scholar and professor of preaching Matthew D. Kim draws on twenty-five years of preaching experience to offer
● a trinitarian framework, centering all three persons of the Trinity in sermon preparation and delivery;
● guidance through five major areas of preparation: theological, biblical, cultural, spiritual, and communicational;
● ten sermonic steps that offer a clear, repeatable process from text selection to pulpit delivery;
● contextual preaching that equips preachers to apply Scripture meaningfully to today’s listeners; and
● exercises and examples suited for the classroom and ongoing pastoral practice.
This “next generation” homiletics resource restores the Bible and the triune God to their rightful place in the pulpit. Written for both novice and experienced preachers, it equips readers to expound, communicate, and apply Scripture with clarity and conviction so they can deliver contextualized messages for today’s listeners.
