  This focused look at women in the household context discusses the importance of issues of space and visibility in shaping the lives of early Christian women. Several aspects of women’s everyday existence are investigated, including the lives of wives, widows, women with children, female slaves, women as patrons, household leaders, and teachers. In addition, several key themes emerge: hospitality, dining practices, and the extent of female segregation.

  Philippians And Philemon

  $28.99

  New in the Abingdon New Testament Commentary series, Carolyn Osiek’s concise look at Philippians & Philemon is a combination of up-to-date scholarship and clear exposition of Paul’s thought. While traditional exegetical questions and contemporary theological concerns are dealt with, special effort is given to probing the social controversies of the Pauline churches. Issues of gender roles and slavery are given particular attention as they arise in the text.
