It recovers forgotten and obscured moments in church history to help us to realize a richer and fuller understanding of Christianity. This text provides an overview of the complete sweep of Christian history through the lens of feminist scholarship. Yet it also departs from some of the assumptions of that scholarship, raising questions that challenge our thinking about how women have shaped beliefs and practices during two thousand years of church history. Did the emphasis on virginity in the early church empower Christian women? Did the emphasis on marriage during the Reformations of the sixteenth century improve their status? These questions and others have important implications for women in Christianity in particular, and for women in religion in general, since they go to the heart of the human condition. This work examines themes, movements, and events in their historical contexts and locates churchwomen within the broader developments that have been pivotal in the evolution of Christianity. From the earliest disciples to the latest theologians, from the missionaries to the martyrs, women have been instrumental in keeping the faith alive. Women in Christian Traditions shows how they did so. 650 0 $a Women in Christianity $x History. 650 7 $a Women in Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177787 650 7 $a Frau. $0 (DE-588)4018202-2 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Christentum. $0 (DE-588)4010074-1 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kristendom $x historia. $2 kao 650 7 $a Kyrkligt arbete. $2 kao 650 7 $a Andlighet. $2 kao 650 7 $a Kvinnouppfattning. $2 kao 650 7 $a Feministisk teori. $2 kao 650 7 $a Christianity $x history. $2 kao//eng 650 7 $a Work within the Church. $2 kao//eng 650 7 $a Spirituality. $2 kao//eng 650 7 $a Views of women. $2 kao//eng 650 7 $a Feminist theory. $2 kao//eng 650 7 $a Kvinnor $x religioÌsa aspekter. $2 sao 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Women in religions. 941 $a 5 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214031706.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092145.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826110732.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20160506011348.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160315010545.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=53AB6FD8EA7311E5BB605CDFDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
