"Women and Religion in the First Christian Centuries" focuses on
religion during the period of Roman imperial rule and its
significance in women's lives. Discussing the rich variety of
religious expression, from pagan cults and classical mythology to
ancient Judaism and early Christianity, and the wide array of
religious functions fulfilled by women, the author analyzes key
examples from each context, creating a vivid image of this crucial
period which laid the foundations of Western civilization.
This study challenges the concepts of religion and of women in the
light of post-modern critique. As such, it is an important
contribution to contemporary gender theory. In its broad and
interdisciplinary approach, this book will be of interest to
students of early religion as well as those interested in cultural
theory.
