Hivyo, wanawake waliotajwa majina yao katika Biblia, nimejaribu kuwagawa kwa kufuata mpangilio wa herufi ya kwanza katika majina yao hadi ya mwisho. Kwa hiyo, unapopitia kila jina la mwanamke kunamambo mengi ya kujifunza katika maisha ya kiroho na ya kawaida, aidha, maana ya jina, tabia, matendo na imani.

Katika sura hizi kunamambo makubwa ya kujifunza ili yatujenge katika safari yetu ya wokovu.

Kanisa hali kadhalika lina wajibu wa kujua madhumuni ya uwepo wake pamoja na mazingira yanayolizunguka kwa kuzingatia umuhimu wake kama inavyosisitizwa katika maandiko matakatifu; kuwahubiri mataifa habari njema ya wok...
