Uncovers women's participation and impact on defining historical
moments and themes of Christian traditions Women in Christian
Traditions offers a concise and accessible examination of the roles
women have played in the construction and practice of Christian
traditions, revealing the enormous debt that this major world
religion owes to its female followers. It recovers forgotten and
obscured moments in church history to help us to realize a richer
and fuller understanding of Christianity. This text provides an
overview of the complete sweep of Christian history through the
lens of feminist scholarship. Yet it also departs from some of the
assumptions of that scholarship, raising questions that challenge
our thinking about how women have shaped beliefs and practices
during two thousand years of church history. Did the emphasis on
virginity in the early church empower Christian women? Did the
emphasis on marriage during the Reformations of the sixteenth
century improve their status? These questions and others have
important implications for women in Christianity in particular, and
for women in religion in general, since they go to the heart of the
human condition. This work examines themes, movements, and events
in their historical contexts and locates churchwomen within the
broader developments that have been pivotal in the evolution of
Christianity. From the earliest disciples to the latest
theologians, from the missionaries to the martyrs, women have been
instrumental in keeping the faith alive. Women in Christian
Traditions shows how they did so.
