Tammi Schneider discusses her book, "Sarah: Mother of Nations." She says she always thought of Sarah as a strong character and taught a course on women in the Bible. Schneider explains that as soon as one translates a text, she interprets it, and that the New Testament tweaks the character of Sarah so that most people view her through a particular lens. She states that Sarah constantly brings the deity into her conversations and carries out actions that are in line with what the deity wants. Schneider goes on to discuss Sarah's family members, polygamy in the biblical text, midrash, and ancient Middle Eastern law codes.
