The eighth volume in this series continues the exploration of women's representations and roles, constructions of gender, and attitudes toward sexuality in the early church. The essays collected here advance discussion on Hebrews and the Catholic Epistles (with particular attention to the Petrine Letters and James), letters that are often overlooked and misunderstood. The contributors tackle a variety of complex issues including slavery, prostitution, widows, church leadership, suffering, women's agency, and Evangelical responses to the so-called 'texts of terror'.
