This book takes a sweep across church history from New Testament times to the present day, focusing on the role of women.
Lots of background and cultural detail and a fascinating insight into the times of the women we meet on the pages make the book compelling reading. The layout of the book, with occasional text boxes, quotations from historians and from the writing of some of the women depicted bring to life the people mentioned on the page. The author doesn’t flinch from dealing with the disputed biblical texts and comes at her subject from a complementarian perspective. Fascinating book for bible college students and Christian women of all ages.
