Women Healing/Healing Women

The Genderisation of Healing in Early Christianity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The impetus for this book is the realization that within early Christianity, which is characterised by healing, no women are explicitly commissioned to heal. It begins with a search for the women who were healers in the Graeco-Roman world of the late Hellenistic and early Roman period, and finding them honoured in inscriptions.
