Women of the Bible

Questions to Ponder

  • How many women’s names do you know from the Bible?
  • There are over 175 women’s names in the Bible. Which ones do you
    know?
  • Why do you know about so few?
  • Which female name would you not want to use in naming your child?
    Why?
  • Which names would you use in selecting a name for a child?
    Why?

Names have a meaning (or take on a meaning over time).  Ponder this
as you read through these names.
