Women and the Genesis of Christianity Review: Of great contemporary importance to Christians - This is a very fine and extremely relevant work of scholarship in which a deeply respected author covers a subject of vital interest -- the role of women in the New Testament. Witherington is reverant, responsible, thorough, and often brilliant. The book is rich in observations, insights, and well supported conclusions about all aspects of the texts. I'm especially concerned with this subject matter because it seems to me that "the woman's movement" has caused a crisis for some traditional Christians today. Witherington is absolutely right to insist that, on these issues, the Bible should have its say. Indeed, yes, the Bible should have its say. Readers will find this not only immensely satisfying but enjoyable; it's profound writing for the mainstream. One might want to buy several copies of this book and, politely, offer them to friends, ministers and priests. Highly recommended. I also recommend Craig S. Keener's Paul, Women & Wives. --- [...]. Review: Beyond Anachronism - Witherington looks at women not as they are sometimes read into the New Testament, but as they are portrayed by New Testament writers. In this way he allows the Bible to address contemporary concerns rather than serve partisan purposes. The result is rich and surprisingly revolutionary. Jesus, Paul, and the Gospel writers move well beyond the limits of their own and surrounding societies in their respect for women and their vision for women in the new reality of God's kingdom. They do so on their own terms and within their actual context, rather than as advocates for anyone's contemporary agenda. I found myself both glad for this readable overview and wishing for the more complete background and documentation of his more extensive works on women in the ministry of Jesus and the First Century Church. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,491,176 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #877 in Sociology of Religion #904 in Sociology & Religion #2,222 in General Gender Studies | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (15) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.73 x 8.5 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0521367352 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0521367356 | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 292 pages | | Publication date | June 29, 1990 | | Publisher | Cambridge University Press | ## Images ![Women and the Genesis of Christianity - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qO+YEVMJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Of great contemporary importance to Christians *by A***E on August 11, 2007* This is a very fine and extremely relevant work of scholarship in which a deeply respected author covers a subject of vital interest -- the role of women in the New Testament.
