Description: This new textbook outlines a gender-critical perspective on the New Testament and other early Christian writings.
Review Quotes: 'In this very accessible, well-written and engaging book, the authors address early Christianity as discourse and locate gender as a core dynamic in that discourse by drawing on an impressive range of feminist theory. The book is a highly successful attempt to conceptualise Early Christian studies as part of a broader Humanities curriculum. They see as the vital issue of our time to reestablish critical-thinking engagement in our classrooms and institutions, and they contribute massively towards that goal.' - Jorunn Okland, Centre for Gender Research, University of Oslo, Norway.--Sanford Lakoff
