“Restore Thou Me That Am Lost”: Our Foremothers of Faith from Regent Audio on Vimeo.
This plea for spiritual restoration uttered by English Protestant noblewoman Frances Abergavenny (ca. 1530-ca. 1576) prompts another plea—that female interpreters of Scripture be restored to their rightful place in the history of biblical interpretation. I will introduce five evangelical great-grandmothers whose contributions to the study of Scripture deserve to be remembered: Sarah Trimmer (1741-1810), Anglican author of 40 books, including a commentary on the entire Bible; Harriet Livermore (1788-1868), American preacher and commentator; Maria W. Stewart (1803-1879), African-American abolitionist, moral reformer, and educator; Elizabeth Rundle Charles (1828-1896), English devotional writer and commentator; and Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896), American abolitionist and author.
