Ernst. 330 $aIn the popular imagination Martha has become synonymous with the harried housewife, fretting over excessive preparations. The Martha known to early Christians is far removed from this stereotype. Martha was better known for her role in the story of the raising of Lazarus and as apostle and witness of the resurrection. This book gathers and assesses the early traditions about Martha in text, liturgy and iconography. It shows that the significance of Martha has been seriously underestimated and recovers an important and widespread tradition of Martha as apostle and authority figure for early Christians. The analysis of Martha traditions with attention to issues of gender and authority render this book an important contribution to studies on women in early Christianity. 410 0$aSupplements to Vigiliae Christianae ;$vv. 98. 517 3 $aAuthority of Martha in early Christian tradition 606 $aWomen in Christianity$xHistory$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 606 $aApocryphal books (New Testament)$xCriticism, interpretation, etc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen in Christianity$xHistory 615 0$aApocryphal books (New Testament)$xCriticism, interpretation, etc. 676 $a226.092 700 $aErnst$b Allie M$0962805 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458943103321 996 $aMartha from the margins$92183095 997 $aUNINA
