1. The stories of these women are dramatic and fascinating.
They make delicious reading for anyone interested in how that most ancient of Books - the Bible - has shaped
and formed the history of our world.

Bad Girls of the Bible

3. Salome
Consulting her mother, true bad girl of the Bible, Salome, shocked Herod and his guests by asking
for the most stomach-turning gift imaginable - the head of John the Baptist on a platter ...

9. Herodias

Antipas, whom she had married after divorcing his half-brother Philip ...
Unable to persuade her husband to murder John, Herodias convinced Salome to request the Prophet to be beheaded.

who promised her cold, hard cash for the secret of his superhuman strength.

21. Eve
The original baddie, she made the fatal-for-everyone mistake of listening to the serpent’s lie that God wasn’t
telling the truth about the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.
After taking a bite, she offered it to Adam and the two were ejected from paradise.

27. Potiphar’s Wife
A high-ranking Egyptian woman who fell for a good-looking Hebrew slave by the name of Joseph.
Enraged by his refusal to jump into bed with her, she accused him of attempted rape and had him thrown into prison.

Joseph and Potiphar's Wife
1630
Oil on canvas, 170 x 128.9 cm

33. Lot’s Wife
Lot’s wife was probably guilty of more than a fateful glance backward.
Fleeing the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot's daughters believe that their father is the last surviving male.
To secure the future of the human race, therefore, they get him drunk and seduce him.

34. DÜRER, Albrecht
Lot and His Daughters
c. 1498
Oil and tempera on panel, 52 x 41
cm

42. Lot's daughters
This rather unsavoury story was very popular with Baroque artists - it offered a saucy seduction scene
with an impeccable Biblical pedigree.

43. GOLTZIUS, Hendrick
Lot and his Daughters
1616
Oil on canvas, 140 x 204 cm
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

48. Bathsheba
She has never heard of a woman bathing outside in a courtyard, but why not?
Unable to sleep, David paces the rooftop garden of his palace in Jerusalem ... Suddenly Bathsheba looks up.
Is it only his imagination or is she looking at him the way he has been looking at her?

49. BOURDICHON, Jean
Bathsheba Bathing
1498 - 1499
Tempera and gold on parchment, 17
x 24.3 cm
The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los
Angeles

54. Bathsheba
Was she, as some think, a wicked woman bent on becoming queen? Or was she raped, then widowed,
then rendered childless because of David's egregious sins?
Only one person knows for sure. As Scripture says,
"I the Lord search the heart
and examine the mind,
to reward each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve." (Jeremiah 17:10 NIV)
