Essays on Women in Earliest Christianity, Volume 2

Women

“This second collection of essays is a worthy succesor to the earlier volume. Again we have a well researched and balanced set of articles discussing the role of women in particular Bible passages and in Christian tradition from Tertullian to modern times. The book as a whole provides a helpful link between detailed scholarly interpretation of the scriptures and modern practice.”

The Hidden Life of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Antonio Pinero's colloquial retelling of legends about Jesus' birth and childhood is taken not only from the New Testament but, more particularly, from a synthesis of many apocryphal gospels. The book is a fascinating introduction to Jesus' career prior to his ministry and is aimed at readers unfamiliar with these 'hidden' years. Editorial chapters provide helpful introductory material.”

The Three Gospels

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Martin Mosse has written a lively and provocative study of the composition of the Synoptic Gospels within the context of primitive Christianity. . . . The broad sweep of his investigations and the relentlessly pursued logic of many of his arguments are to be welcomed. Mosse flies many worthwhile kites which will deserve analysis by perceptive readers.”
