Sarah the Priestess
The First Matriarch of Genesis
By Savina J. Teubal
·
Foreword by Raphael Patai
The only source in which Sarah is mentioned is the Book of Genesis, which contains very few highly selective and rather enigmatic stories dealing with her. On the surface, these stories tell us very little about Sarah, and what they do tell is complicated and confused by the probability that it represents residue surviving from two different written sources based on two independent oral traditions.
