There are so few roles for women speakers in the New Testament
that our partners at the Antillean Bible Society added two.
One woman, a
biologist by profession, came after work to record the chapter headings for the
entire New Testament. In Papiamentu-speaking culture, the grandmothers are the
storytellers, so this seemed particularly appropriate to the local recording
team.
Another woman read the book of Hebrews. She did an excellent job
with what can be a difficult book. "Some people will understand that
passage for the first time," one of the proof-listeners noted after one
recording session. Thank God that many more people will hear and understand His
Word.
