Ten Sermons on Women in the Bible For the third published book of his early career, Harold John Ockenga chose to focus on a series of biographical sermons on women in the Bible that he had preached on Sunday evenings at Boston’s Park Street Church. Although the series continued for several months, ten of the sermons were selected for inclusion in this volume. The identity of these women was not revealed until each sermon was preached, as we learn from the book’s foreword, to help stimulate curiosity and a sense of anticipation. Keen interest in Bible study, we are told, was sustained through the entire series.
