Christian Education and Publications announces a Bible Study Series for women which will:
- Teach women to study Scripture from a covenantal perspective.
- Use the objectives and concepts of Biblical Foundations for Womanhood to help women apply Scripture to life.
These studies will help a women’s ministry accomplish the objectives of Biblical Foundations for Womanhood:
- To teach women a biblical perspective of their relationships with Christ, family, and church.
- To challenge women to fulfill their helper design.
- To help women examine the implications of the covenant in their relationships.
- To train women to cultivate community by obeying the Titus mandate to nurture one another for God’s glory.
- To train women to be channels of compassion by obeying the Micah mandate.
- To equip women for leadership roles in the women’s ministry of the church.
This Bible Study series recognizes that a women’s Bible study does not stand alone. It is to be a part of the entire discipleship ministry of a local church. Therefore, this study does not attempt to duplicate or replace other aspects of the educational ministry of the church, but rather to focus on the specific call to women to teach other women a biblical perspective of womanhood. Women encouraging and equipping women is the covenant way. It is a part of healthy church life. The apostle Paul wrote to the young preacher Titus:
You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. Titus 2:1-5

For each study there is a leader’s packet and a student book. The leader’s packet contains everything the teacher needs to prepare for the class: a leader’s guide, a student book, and a copy of the corresponding volume from The Adult Biblical Education Series by Dr. Jack Scott, which provides 
the background commentary for the Bible study leader. The study is divided into twelve lessons. Two suggested teaching plans give the teacher the option of covering the book in one or two quarters. Lessons are adaptable to classes of different lengths.
Each student book includes preparation worksheets to help students engage each lesson. These short, daily assignments are well suited to devotional time during the week or to class discussion groups. The interactive classroom format will help to convey the covenant truths covered in each lesson.
The Foundations for Biblical Womanhood books are the resources for the application of Scripture into life.

I met Susan Hunt at the "Biblical Womanhood: Rising to the Challenge" retreat Feb 25, 26 2011, at Center Point Community Church in Ocala, FL. I've been a member of PCA churches since 1980 (the current one since 1983). I participated in PCA CEP women's Bible studies when they were offered during the early years (maybe for four years) in my current church. I have been my church's WIC SGC chairwoman for two years. Our women's ministry studied the Biblical Foundations for Womanhood "The Formation of God's People, Israel" fall 2010. At the retreat, I told Susan that I came to understand the CEP objectives for women's ministry and their Biblical base during that fall study. I, also, as did the other ladies who participated, came to understand covenant theology - the wholistic approach to Scripture - in a major way including how it specifically applied to women. Many of the ladies who attended are from nonreformed backgrounds (including me), some very recently. I'm a "show-me" person; I have to see it to believe it. Through my participation in the fall Bible study God develped in me a great confidence in our denomination's national leadership's understanding of and wisdom in applying Biblical truth and in their deep dependence on Him as revealed in their commitment to prayer. Susan, Barbara Thompson, Charles Dunahoo and your colleagues at CEP, and the rest of our denomination's national leadership, may you continue to be blessed by God in your service to Him! In Christ, Linda Trimpey
