In addition to considering a wide range of textual evidence from the New Testament, early church writings, and Roman and Jewish sources, the book aims to take account of Roman archaeological evidence for housing and discusses the importance of issues of space and visibility in shaping the lives of early Christian women. Several aspects of women's everyday existence will be investigated, including the lives of wives, widows, women and children, female slaves, women as patrons, household leaders, and teachers.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Carolyn Osiek</note> <subject> <topic>House churches</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Women in church work</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Church history -- Primitive and early church, ca. 30-600</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">270.1082</classification> <classification authority="ddc">O81-C29</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0800637771</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/6/_85480961_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/6/_85480961_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070703.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
