The Prophetess Huldah and the Word of Yhwh

ABSTRACT

The article is based on the character of the prophetess Huldah (2 Kings 22:11-20). There is little biographical information about her, but that which is available gives some indication of her prophetic importance at a crucial moment in Judah’s history. Her authority as YHWH’s spokesperson stands out in the text. Apart from Huldah, the biblical texts mention other women in salvation history, generally giving them secondary roles in androcentric settings. The role of women in theology has prophetic features. In order to embark on a synodal journey, in which the full participation of women in society and in the Church is possible, it will be important not only to know their theological fruits, but also to know the scenarios in which they have written and been present with their voice.
