John's presentation of women as witnesses in that trial is examined within the framework of Jewish law and custom regarding women as witnesses. Maccini concludes that the role of the women as witnesses follows no stereotypical pattern; that the women as witnesses, like the men, are treated as individuals, not as a class; and that in no case do any of the women bear witness in a way that breaches Jewish law and the custom of the Journal for the study of the New Testament.Supplement series ;125.Library of New Testament studies.Witness bearing (Christianity)WitnessesWomen in the BibleWitness bearing (Christianity)Witnesses.Women in the Bible.226.5/0922/082Maccini Robert Gordon1508374MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789780503321Her testimony is true3739733UNINA
