Abstract

This chapter invites the reader to examine the strategic place of women in the mission of God as lived out through God's organization—the church. The mission as the “main thing” is a healthy paradigm if that perspective never forgets the importance of “people” as essential agents in mission participation and fulfillment. Women are persons, and this chapter explores various examples from the Hebrew and Christian scriptures that highlight the often-unseen women at the center of God’s redemptive plan.
