Much of the history of women, in religion as in other fields, is
lost because it was overlooked or considered unimportant. It is
therefore surprising that so many fragments of women's stories
survive in the New Testament texts composed by men. Why did they
include so many references to women and why are women, as a group,
treated so positively by the male New Testament writers?
"Women in the New Testament" shows how the stories of women are
an integral part of the Gospel and its meaning for us. It also
relays how we can respond to the challenge these women represent,
whether we are men trying to understand or women trying to find our
voices within the tradition of faith found in the New
Testament.
Chapter one discusses three women of expectant faith. Chapters
two and three deal with women who are changed by Jesus. Chapter
four focuses on New Testament women of influence. Chapters five and
six show how women disciples spread and gave shape to the gospel
message.
Chapters are Women of Expectant Faith," *Women Changed by Jesus,
- *More Women Changed by Jesus, - *Women of Prominence, - *Women
and Discipleship, - and *More Women and Discipleship. -
