WATER FROM THE WELL: SARAH, REBEKAH, RACHEL AND LEAH focuses on the true stories of four Biblical women whose influence on the early stories of the Bible will reach not just Christians but Jewish and Muslim faiths. Texts of different religions, from the Torah and prayer books to the Bible, are utilized in Roiphe's study of the women's personalities, struggles, and interactions with God. A blend of anthropology, religious study and folklore has been culled to build a foundation of knowledge based on known facts and source materials in this outstanding study. Diane C.
