In Band of Angels, Kate Cooper tells the surprising story of early
Christianity from the woman's point of view. Though they are often
forgotten, women from all walks of life played an invaluable role
in Christianity's growth to become a world religion. Peasants,
empresses, and independent businesswomen contributed what they
could to an emotional revolution unlike anything the ancient world
had ever seen. By mobilizing friends and family to spread the word
from household to household, they created a wave of change not
unlike modern 'viral' marketing. For the most part, women in the
ancient world lived out their lives almost invisibly in a man's
world. Piecing together their history from the few contemporary
accounts that have survived requires painstaking detective work.
Yet a careful re-reading of ancient sources yields a vivid picture,
and shows how daily life and the larger currents of history shaped
one another. This remarkable book tells the story of how a new way
of understanding relationships took root in the ancient world. By
sharing the ideas that had inspired them, ancient women changed
their own lives. But they did something more: they changed the
world around them, and in doing so, they created an enduring
legacy. Their story is a testament to what invisible people can
achieve, and to how the power of ideas can change history.
