Women in the New Testament

Author / Publisher: Getty-Sullivan, Mary Ann

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.--amazon. 1.
