520    Women in Christian Traditions offers a concise and 
       accessible examination of the roles women have played in 
       the construction and practice of Christian traditions, 
       revealing the enormous debt that this major world religion
       owes to its female followers. It recovers forgotten and 
       obscured moments in church history to help us to realize a
       richer and fuller understanding of Christianity. This text
       provides an overview of the complete sweep of Christian 
       history through the lens of feminist scholarship. Yet it 
       also departs from some of the assumptions of that 
       scholarship, raising questions that challenge our thinking
       about how women have shaped beliefs and practices during 
       two thousand years of church history. Did the emphasis on 
       virginity in the early church empower Christian women? Did
       the emphasis on marriage during the Reformations of the 
       sixteenth century improve their status? These questions 
       and others have important implications for women in 
       Christianity in particular, and for women in religion in 
       general, since they go to the heart of the human 
       condition. This work examines themes, movements, and 
       events in their historical contexts and locates 
       churchwomen within the broader developments that have been
       pivotal in the evolution of Christianity. From the 
       earliest disciples to the latest theologians, from the 
       missionaries to the martyrs, women have been instrumental 
       in keeping the faith alive. Women in Christian Traditions 
       shows how they did so.
