A thoroughly revised and updated edition of the most outstanding volume on women in Christianity
A classic in the field of religious studies since its original publication in 1977, Women and Religion has remained the definitive and most compelling documentary history of the relationship between Christianity and half of its membership. This new edition--completely revised by the original editors, renowned historian Elizabeth A. Clark and theologian Herbert Richardson, with the assistance of Gary Brower and Randall Styers--includes fully updated introductions, newly available source material, and incisive contemporary analysis. An invaluable resource for exploring the progressive history of women and Christian thought.
Review Quotes
"In a startingly way, the Garden of Eden is the battleground of this interesting and useful volume, which chronicles Chrisitanity's heavy bias against the 'second sex.'...A valuable book for readers with a stake in feminism, religion, or both."--"Kirkus Reviews"
