About this title

Synopsis

Female Scripture Biography: Including An Essay On What Christianity Has Done For Women by Francis Augustus Cox. This two?volume work assembles biographical sketches of biblical women and interleaves an extended essay on how Christianity has elevated the status of women. It surveys Mary, Elizabeth, Anna, the Woman of Samaria, the woman who was a sinner, the Syrophoenician, Martha and Mary, the Poor Widow, Sapphira, Dorcas, Lydia, and other figures, presenting their narratives and drawing out moral lessons—faith, charity, piety, and service. The author contrasts women’s roles in pagan, savage, Mahometan, and patriarchal societies with Christian ideals, arguing that Christian faith frees women from superstition and oppression and calls them to virtuous action and religious devotion. He employs scriptural exposition to show women as disciples, patrons of benevolence, and agents of spiritual reform, urging readers to cultivate benevolence, reverence for providence, and a steadfast trust in God.
