Study 1 - Deborah
We start with Deborah from the book of Judges in the Old Testament. She was called a prophetess and Judge. A prophetess would speak on behalf of the sender (which is God) and would send these messages to others. In the times of the Old Testament, a Judge would deliver judgement to others. These select people had the authority to decide on controversies, give verdicts, and execute judgments. This is obviously a strong role in the community.
Let’s see how she handles this authority.
