The book maps the importance of women’s childbearing in Greco-Roman culture and shows how childbearing discourse interfaces with salvation discourse in three early Christian texts: the Pastoral Epistles, the Acts of Andrew and the Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicitas. Issues of gender and class are explored through an intersectional analysis. In particular, the institution of slavery, and its implications for ideas about salvation in these texts are drawn out. Birthing Salvation offers fresh interpretations of these texts, including the peculiar statement in 1 Tim 2:15 that women “will be saved through childbearing.”Biblical interpretation series ;v. 121.SalvationBiblical teachingSalvationChristianityChristian literature, EarlyHistory and criticismChildbirthBiblical teachingChildbirthReligious aspectsChristianityElectronic books.SalvationBiblical teaching.SalvationChristianity.Christian literature, EarlyHistory and criticism.ChildbirthBiblical teaching.ChildbirthReligious aspectsChristianity.261.8/358743Solevag Anna Rebecca1044597MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453071903321Birthing salvation2492456UNINA
