Liberated
How the Bible Exalts and Dignifies Women
Karen Soole
The Bible is good news for women
Questions for thought and conversation
Bible reading and questions in each chapter
There is a widespread belief that the Bible is sexist. However, the principle of equality is established in the first pages of the Bible, and its message exalts and dignifies both men and women. Bible teacher, conference speaker and author Karen Soole shares what she has discovered as she has read the Bible and grappled with it over many years.
She takes us through the Bible story from Genesis to Revelation and challenges the reader to decide whether God is offering life and liberation, or suffocation and oppression. It is an invitation to meet and know the God of the Bible, and to view his Word through the lens of his character.

… shows how the Bible’s message contains better news for women than that coming from any other source. I hope both women and men will read and discover that the living God truly is a friend of women.
Peter Dray
Director of Creative Evangelism, UCCF
Karen shows us again and again that God values men and women equally and gives them both the task of being His image bearers in the world. And Christ Himself, the supreme image of the invisible God, is the one we should look to, because ultimate liberation is found in Him alone.
Carrie Sandom
Director of Women’s Ministry, Proclamation Trust
Liberated is a thoroughly biblical exploration of a difficult subject and brings a heady blend of warmth, humour and brutal candor. … This is an important apologetic that the church needs to read and reflect upon carefully, if we are to convince a watching world that ultimate dignity and flourishing is to be found in following Jesus of Nazareth.

Former Director, Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF), United Kingdom
I am so grateful for this book. Karen Soole compellingly presents the Bible’s exalted view of women. She also tackles some of those passages in the Bible which many find most challenging. Reading it will fill both women and men with confidence in what it means to be a truly liberated woman in the 21st century.
