Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This book explores the historic roles of women in the Christian church and examines how their spirituality both reflected and shaped not only the female experience but the universal Christian experience. Its emphasis is Western Christianity, from the early Christians to the late Victorians. The editors bring together studies of specific areas of women's Christianity and place them in a wider focus to examine how relationships between men and women in the Church have developed, how one age has influenced the next, and how the situation of our own time is a product of earlier developments.

Book News Annotation:

This collection of essays reflects the historic role of women in the Christian church and examines ways in which their spirituality mirrored both the female experience and the universal Christian experience. It reinterprets the position of women in the Western European Christian movement as one of strong leadership, and not--as is widely believed--one of passivity.
