In No Longer Silent, author Susan Dehn Matthews attempts to highlight the women in the Gospels and provide the background behind those important women. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatthews starts by noting that women in the Gospels were deliberately disempowered in order to maintain their presumed dependence, both in Scripture and in society. She then goes to the give voice to the minds and hearts of the women of the gospels who have been marginalized or ignored altogether. As she writes, \"Each women whose story is recounted here is remarkable precisely because, through the power of an encounter with Jesus, she discovered within herself the Divine energy that allowed her to offer her unique gift to the world.\" Some of the women Matthews writes about include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Elizabeth \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mary of Nazareth \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mary at the Wedding of Cana \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe widowed mother of Nain \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe woman accused \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe mother of James and John \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sisters of Lazarus \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe wife of Pilate \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMary Magdalene \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoanna \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACTA Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032480989424,"sku":"9780879464707","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780879464707_p0.jpg?v=1763849271","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780879464707","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
