Women of the Bible. - 2 videodiscs (315 min.) : sound, color ; 4 3/4 in.

Originally broadcast in 1987.

Mary of Nazareth: a mother's life -- Mysteries of the Bible: Queen Esther - far away and long ago -- Mysteries of the Bible: scarlet women of the Bible -- Mary Magdalene: the hidden Apostle -- Adam & Eve: lost innocence -- Solomon & Sheba: an epic love story -- Samson and Delilah: love and betrayal.

The women of the Bible represent a diverse and intriguing group; powerful, independent, romantic, and brave. Mary of Nazareth endured nearly lifelong ridicule and scorn while standing by her son. Queen Esther courageously saved the Jews from certain death, while the beautiful Sheba dazzled Solomon, legendary King of Israel, and inspired some of the Bible's most erotic love poetry. The story of Delilah reveals how her name became synonymous with treachery and deceit.
