Recenzii

"Women and Christian Origins" will serve its purpose well as a companion to an introductory textbook on New Testament and Christion origins. For those seeking reliable historical information on the women of the New Testament it will also prove useful as a handbook.
Lynn LiDonnici ... provides a superb synopsis of women's roles in civic religion, as priestesses and patrons, highlighting their public roles.
The long and excellent introduction ... makes a powerful case for continuity between Christianity and Judiasm and the surrounding pagan culture.
an excellent survey of the subject
This anthology is a model of comparative, critical scholarship. With shrewd sensitivity to questions of gender analysis, textual exegesis and historical method, the authors canvass a broad range of material--pagan, Jewish, and Christian; literary and archaeological--to assess the roles of women, imagined and actual, in various ancient Christian communities. No orthodoxy, ecclesiastical, academic, or feminist, emerges unchallenged. Kraemer, D'Angelo and their colleagues deserve our warm thanks. Bravissima!
This superb collection will be an ideal text book for undergraduate and seminary courses on the history of early Christian women. Both students and scholars will appreciate the lucid overviews of the results of over two decades of intensive feminist research on early Christian women. The authors present their material honestly and fairly without the apologetic tendencies that characterize some Christian treatments of women in the New Testament. The attention to the Jewish and other neighbors of early Christian women continues the valuable inter religious model pioneered by Kraemer in her earlier works.
Congratulations to Ross Kraemer and Mary Rose DAngelo for giving us this excellent collection of critical, incisive, and diverse essays. We are all in their debt.
