Fortress Press 2017 459tr. Paperback, illustrations 23cm Discovering reliable information about women in early Christianity is a challenging enterprise... This book explores visual imagery found on burial artifacts of prominent early Christian women. It carefully situates the tomb art within the cultural context of customary Roman commemorations of the dead... A review of women's history in the first four centuries of Christianity provides important context. A picture emerges of women's authority in the early church, a picture either not available or sadly distorted in the written history. It is often said ""a picture is worth a thousand words."" The portrait tombs of fourth-century Christian women suggest that they viewed themselves and/or their loved ones viewed them as persons of authority with religious influence.
