Lesson Overview
Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba are commonly associated with sexual sin. But does this characterization hold with biblical truth? Dive deeper into the lives of each of these women with Dr. Cohick as she explores what the Bible tells us about who they were and what we can learn from their lives.
