Women Leaders in Early Christianity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

About this book Just as women financed Jesus' ministry and playerd other important roles so they continued to do so for centuries. This book details the important role that many Early Christian women played as leaders and personalities on the world-wide stage. They not only gave birth to famous saints and churchmen, brought them up and home-schooled them, they also financed men's monasteries, gave them counsel and scriptural interpretations (even to popes), taught men theology, edited their translations, cared for their health and mediated between men when they quarrelled. These women have been all but erased from history, but this book demonstrates that their input was vital to the success of the church in the first centuries.
