Different Perspectives
on the Women of What She Said
by Stephanie Morris and Leah Ellison Bradley
Beauty is in the eye
of the beholder. But the art chosen each year to
accompany the Horizons Bible study is chosen not only because it is
beautiful—it must also be thought-provoking, illustrative of the
author’s message and a fresh approach to an often familiar subject:
scripture. Still, no image can be all things to all people. That’s
why we’re providing these additional, different perspectives on
the women profiled in this year’s Bible study, What She Said:
Quotable Women in Scripture.
One of the amazing things about art is its ability to convey so much
in so little space. The author of the Bible study uses approximately
2,000 words for each lesson she writes. The artist uses one image. Yet
for someone who is open to and moved by art, that one image may say
more—and say it more succinctly—than any words could.
Stephanie Morris is the designer for Presbyterian
Women. Leah Bradley is the senior associate editor
for Presbyterian Women.
