This collection brings to light many pieces of evidence of how
women exercised leadership from the first to the ninth
century...This volume clearly shows that most of these leadership
roles were not simply titular or honorific but involved actual
practices in Christian ministry.
*Christine Agina, Religious Studies Review*
Through rigorous historical research across a range of disciplines,
the authors of this collection have shown that there is more
evidence for a wider range of roles available to ancient Christian
women than we have sometimes been led to believe.
*Clare Gardom, University of Oxford, Modern Believing*
this volume is a valuable and significant collection of up-to-date
historical evidence for a variety of forms of women's leadership in
the early church from a diversity of sources
*Susanna Drake, Church History*
