As an unabashedly sexist institution that has long been rooted in patriarchal ideals, the Christian church has few rivals in the contemporary world. The specific modes and manifestations of its misogyny form the basis of this thoughtful new collection.Written by recognized experts in church history, the articles take a close look at women's status in key periods: ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary. Contributors explore themes such as the role of women in early Christian communities, role models for women in the Roman Empire, Queen Elizabeth's exploitation of women's cultural disadvantages in Renaissance England, the relative autonomy of Catholic versus Protestant women, and the evolving roles of women in marriage and the ministry today.The first wide-ranging history of sexism in Christianity, this is an ideal text for courses in women's studies and church history. Lively, clear, and jargon-free, it will also provide a good read for anyone with a special interest in this provocative subject. Media > Book, [PU: University of Toronto Press]<
