Bonnie Thurston examines the personalities, place, and power of women in the New Testament. She provides a cultural and religious context for them by briefly outlining the position of women in the Greco-Roman world. The aim is to reveal the ways in which early Christianity attempted to liberate people from oppression (particularly patriarchy), as well as to point out the places and ways in which the early Christian community compromised with the dominant society.Thurston, Bonnie is the author of 'Women in the New Testament: Questions and Commentary' with ISBN 9781592445585 and ISBN 1592445586.
