Description
For centuries, discussions of early Christianity have focused on male leaders in the church. However, the New Testament reveals that women were actively involved in ministry, at the forefront of the gospel mission, and as respected leaders.
Nijay Gupta sheds light on the many inspiring contributions of these women, who played major roles in the planting, growth, and health of the first Christian churches. By exploring the lives of first-century women and addressing common misconceptions, Gupta sets the context for a fresh understanding of women's roles in the early churches.
Through a close examination of Paul's writings, Gupta brings to light the stories of women such as Phoebe, Prisca, Junia, and Nympha, among others. As we gain a deeper understanding of the world in which Jesus and his followers lived, it becomes clear that women were active participants and trusted leaders all along.
