Readers of the New Testament notice varying ideas about women. Some women are submissive and silent; others have titles of leaders or speak with approval. In this book, Susan Hylen guides readers through new interpretations of this evidence. She argues that women in the culture enacted feminine virtues in a variety of ways, including active leadership in their communities.
