Jesus himself called women into his group of friends and disciples, and often demonstrated that patriarchal hierarchies did not appeal to him 1 ; after his death, women continued to play prominent roles in the early Christian movement. The earliest church was not an empire under patriarchal rule, but a society of equal brothers and sisters. In fact, it is almost certain that women constituted more than half of the membership of the church. The Letters of Paul, martyr texts, and other historical evidence of household leadership place women on a level of significance and enablement in the Christian community. Although there were many conflicts regarding the established leadership status of women in the new Christian religion due to long-standing Greco-Roman gender roles, early Christian literature and historical studies show that women were religiously, socially, and even politically empowered by Christianity.","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":"33962897"},"document_type":"paper","pre_hit_view_count_baseline":null,"quality":"high","language":"en","title":"A Woman's Touch: Women’s Empowerment and Contributions in Early Christianity","broadcastable":false,"draft":null,"has_indexable_attachment":true,"indexable":true}}["work"];

What can Mark, Q, M, L and the seven genuine letters of Paul tell us? Were women baptizers and equal participants in love feasts/developing Eucharistic rites, missionaries, teachers, prophets, bishops, deacons, leaders and apostles? If so, what was the real functional difference between the male and female role initially within the earliest Christian communities and why did a standard patriarchal model develop where sacerdotal, managerial, and theological roles become exclusive to men within the later orthodox communities? Are there exceptions to the male orthodox model as it developed, and if so are they a result of a reliance on the teachings of Jesus and the practice of the early communities, or are they novel developments?</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Using Mark, Q, M, L and the Seven Undisputed Letters of Paul as Case Studies: What can we learn of the role of women within the developing structures of the earliest Christian Communities?","attachmentId":53918574,"attachmentType":"docx","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/33961049/Using_Mark_Q_M_L_and_the_Seven_Undisputed_Letters_of_Paul_as_Case_Studies_What_can_we_learn_of_the_role_of_women_within_the_developing_structures_of_the_earliest_Christian_Communities","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/33961049/Using_Mark_Q_M_L_and_the_Seven_Undisputed_Letters_of_Paul_as_Case_Studies_What_can_we_learn_of_the_role_of_women_within_the_developing_structures_of_the_earliest_Christian_Communities"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="4" data-entity-id="45013697" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/45013697/I_am_a_Christian_Female_Identity_and_Authority_in_the_Early_Church">I am a Christian - Female Identity and Authority in the Early Church</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="98000337" href="https://edinburgh.academia.edu/GillLeFevre">Gill Le Fevre</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">In this paper, I argue that the martyrdom of Perpetua, recorded in The Passion of Perpetua and Felicity, demonstrates the growing challenge that early Christian women were perceived to present in Roman society through their creation of a redefined gender identity.

This paper will assess their contribution by examining the various functions and responsibilities held by women as described in the New Testament and Canonical Gospels. The assessment will commence with a brief description of the lives of women in the Greco-Roman world. This description of the cultural setting will serve as an introduction to Jesus’ attitude towards and interaction with women, who were among his first followers. Women continued to function in the early church in a variety of roles such as apostles, evangelists, prophets, teachers and house church leaders, using their skills to spread the message and further the impact of the fledgling religion. A close examination of these multifarious roles, drawing on the Canonical Gospels as primary source, will demonstrate the integral part women played in the dissemination of Christianity.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"The Role of Women in the New Testament and Canonical Gospels.","attachmentId":47069959,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/26795249/The_Role_of_Women_in_the_New_Testament_and_Canonical_Gospels","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/26795249/The_Role_of_Women_in_the_New_Testament_and_Canonical_Gospels"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="8" data-entity-id="3674869" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/3674869/An_assessment_of_the_ways_in_which_women_played_an_important_part_in_the_spread_of_Christianity_in_the_first_and_second_centuries_CE">An assessment of the ways in which women played an important part in the spread of Christianity in the first and second centuries CE.</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="2253934" href="https://une-au.academia.edu/ChristineVandor">Christine Vandor</a></div><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"An assessment of the ways in which women played an important part in the spread of Christianity in the first and second centuries CE.","attachmentId":31364374,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/3674869/An_assessment_of_the_ways_in_which_women_played_an_important_part_in_the_spread_of_Christianity_in_the_first_and_second_centuries_CE","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/3674869/An_assessment_of_the_ways_in_which_women_played_an_important_part_in_the_spread_of_Christianity_in_the_first_and_second_centuries_CE"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="9" data-entity-id="107882811" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/107882811/Christian_Women_in_the_Patristic_World_Their_Influence_Authority_and_Legacy_in_the_Second_through_Fifth_Centuries_by_Lynn_H_Cohick_and_Amy_Brown_Hughes">Christian Women in the Patristic World: Their Influence, Authority, and Legacy in the Second through Fifth Centuries, by Lynn H.
