About this title

Review

Jesus broke the social mold of his time by his close and collaborative dealings with women in his life and ministry. In Six New Gospels Margaret Hebblethwaite explores the good news of Jesus through the eyes of six women who were especially close to Jesus. She reveals their stories on two levels: the first is a narrative reconstruction of first-hand accounts each of the women might have told; the second is a commentary of the New Testament texts in which these women appear. In the narratives, each woman seems to step from the pages of the Bible to tell her life with Jesus; in the commentary, Hebblethwaite pushes forward the frontiers of feminist interpretation of Scripture and provides the scholarly foundation for these "new gospels" with a clarity free of technical jargon. -- Midwest Book Review
