Typical studies of marriage and family in the early Christian
period focus on very limited evidence found in Scripture. This
interdisciplinary book offers a broader, richer picture of the
first Christian families by drawing together research by experts
ranging from archaeologists to ancient historians.
By exploring the nature of households in the ancient Greco-Roman
world, the contributors assemble a new understanding of ancient
Christian families that is both compelling and instructive. Divided
into six parts, the book covers key aspects of ancient family life,
from meals and child-rearing to women's roles and the lives of
slaves. Three concluding chapters explore the implications of all
this information for theological education today.
