Ancient texts deal with idealized women and use feminine imagery to describe the divine but they also debate women?s access to and capacity of gaining knowledge. Combining rhetorical analysis with social historical approaches, the contributions in this book cover a wide array of source materials, drawing special attention to the so-called Gnostic texts. The fourteen essays, written by prominent experts of ancient Christianity, are dedicated to Professor Antti Marjanen (University of Helsinki). 410 0$aVigiliae Christianae, Supplements$v144. 606 $aWomen in Christianity$xHistory$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 606 $aWomen in the Bible 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen in Christianity$xHistory 615 0$aWomen in the Bible. 676 $a270.1082 702 $aTervahauta$b Ulla 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404069803321 996 $aWomen and knowledge in early Christianity$92264005 997 $aUNINA
