An overarching history of women in the Christian Church from
antiquity to the Reformation, perfect for advanced undergraduates
and seminary students alike A History of Women in Christianity to
1600 presents a continuous narrative account of women's engagement
with the Christian tradition from its origins to the seventeenth
century, synthesizing a diverse range of scholarship into a single,
easily accessible volume. Locating significant individuals and
events within their historical context, this well-balanced textbook
offers an assessment of women's contributions to the development of
Christian doctrine while providing insights into how structural and
environmental factors have shaped women's experience of
Christianity. Written by a prominent scholar in the field, the book
addresses complex discourses concerning women and gender in the
Church, including topics often ignored in broad narratives of
Christian history. Students will explore the ways women served in
liturgical roles within the church, the experience of martyrdom for
early Christian women, how the social and political roles of women
changed after the fall of Rome, the importance of women in the
re-evangelization of Western Europe, and more. Through twelve
chapters, organized chronologically, this comprehensive text:
Examines conceptions of sex and gender tracing back their roots to
the Jewish, Hellenistic, and Roman culture Provides a unique view
of key women in the Church in the Middle Ages, including the rise
of women's monasticism and the impact of the Inquisition Compares
and contrasts each of the major confessions of the Church during
the Reformation Explores lesser-known figures from beyond the
Western European tradition A History of Women in Christianity to
1600 is an essential textbook for undergraduate and graduate
courses in Christian traditions, historical theology, religious
studies, medieval history, Reformation history, and gender history,
as well as an invaluable resource for seminary students and
scholars in the field.
