Women in the Bible, Episode 6: Ethnic Diversity

Episode Summary

Revelation tells us that worshipers of the Lord will include those from every tribe, tongue, and nation. Ethnic diversity is a wonderful thing, and should be a goal that we attain to. In the first chapter of the New Testament, Matthew includes a few women in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, which is radical enough, but a majority of those women are not ethnic Jews. In this episode, we will look at each of those Old Testament women mentioned in Matthew 1: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba.
