The eighth volume in this series continues the exploration of women’s representations and roles, constructions of gender, and attitudes toward sexuality in the early church. The contributors tackle a variety of complex issues involving slavery, prostitution, widows, church leadership, suffering, women’s agency, and Evangelical responses to the so-called ’texts of terror‘. This volume advances discussion on these often overlooked and misunderstood general letters. Contributors include:
