The Golden Gleanings is a book written by John Shirley and published in 1863. It is a collection of sketches that depict the lives of various female characters from the Bible. The book aims to provide insights into their personalities, experiences, and contributions to biblical history. The author draws from various sources, including the Old and New Testaments, to create vivid portraits of women such as Eve, Sarah, Ruth, Mary, and Martha, among others. The sketches are written in a narrative style that brings the characters to life and provides readers with a deeper understanding of their roles in biblical history. The Golden Gleanings is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the lives of women in the Bible and their impact on religious history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
