Fortress Press. Good. 6 x 0.44 x 9 inches. Paperback. 1986. 182 pages. Cover worn.<br>An accessible, introductory text first published by Fortress Press in 1983, Her Story: Women in Christia n History has sold over 30,000 copies of the first edition and ha s ably helped readers recover the oft-ignored or submerged storie s of women in the Christian tradition, from biblical times to now . Barbara MacHaffie, who wrote the brief history and compiled a l ively anthology of companion primary readings, has revised and up dated the text and readings. In this new edition, history and pri mary readings are combined and augmented with helpful pedagogical tools. This new textbook, which offers sympathetic coverage of a ll Christian traditions, is supported by a dedicated companion We b site that includes chapter summaries, questions for discussion and Web links that vividly bring the stories of women to life in portraits, artifacts, and other primary materials. Editorial Rev iews From Library Journal This concise history explores the unde rlying forces shaping the status and role of women from biblical times through the present. While it examines misogynist influence s in patriarchal cultures, Her Story also highlights material in the Bible that challenges and condemns patriarchy. What emerges f rom MacHaffie's distillation of the burgeoning body of scholarshi p on women and religion is a surprising and refreshing diversity in the ways women have contributed to the Christian community. A well-written, understandable text, Her Story identifies lost trad itions that affirm women and analyzes women's current involvement in theological education, the ministry, and feminist theology an d liturgics. Highly recommended for academic and general collecti ons, as well as for church libraries. Cynthia Widmer, Williamstow n, Mass. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.
