This engaging and accessible textbook provides an introduction to
the study of ancient Jewish and Christian women in their
Hellenistic and Roman contexts. This is the first textbook
dedicated to introducing women's religious roles in Judaism and
Christianity in a way that is accessible to undergraduates from all
disciplines. The textbook provides brief, contextualising overviews
that then allow for deeper explorations of specific topics in
women's religion, including leadership, domestic ritual, women as
readers and writers of scripture, and as innovators in their
traditions. Using select examples from ancient sources, the
textbook provides teachers and students with the raw tools to begin
their own exploration of ancient religion. An introductory chapter
provides an outline of common hermeneutics or "lenses" through
which scholars approach the texts and artefacts of Judaism and
Christianity in antiquity. The textbook also features a glossary of
key terms, a list of further readings and discussion questions for
each topic, and activities for classroom use. In short, the book is
designed to be a complete, classroom-ready toolbox for teachers who
may have never taught this subject as well as for those already
familiar with it. Jewish and Christian Women in the Ancient
Mediterranean is intended for use in undergraduate classrooms, its
target audience undergraduate students and their instructors,
although Masters students may also find the book useful. In
addition, the book is accessible and lively enough that religious
communities' study groups and interested laypersons could employ
the book for their own education.
