Synopsis "Christian Women in the Patristic World: Their Influence, Authority, and Legacy in the Second through Fifth Centuries"
A Top Ten Book for Parish Ministry in 2017, Academy of Parish ClergyA Jesus Creed 2017 Book of the Year (Honorable Mention)From facing wild beasts in the arena to governing the Roman Empire, Christian women--as preachers and philosophers, martyrs and empresses, virgins and mothers--influenced the shape of the church in its formative centuries. This book provides in a single volume a nearly complete compendium of extant evidence about Christian women in the second through fifth centuries. It highlights the social and theological contributions they made to shaping early Christian beliefs and practices, integrating their influence into the history of the patristic church and showing how their achievements can be edifying for contemporary Christians.
