And that requires\u0026gt;\u003ci\u003eaction\u003c\/i\u003e. But in the Gospels, the disciples often falter. The Twelve even abandon Jesus at his crucifixion in many of the narratives. Yet it is female disciples who remain faithful to Jesus to the end. What do we make of this? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In\u0026gt;\u003ci\u003eWomen Who Do\u003c\/i\u003e, Holly J. Carey examines what it means to be a disciple--and contends that it's the women who best embody discipleship in the Gospels. Carey describes the expectations and social roles for women in first-century Greco-Roman and Jewish contexts. Then she offers a close reading of each of the four Gospels, as well as Acts of the Apostles. What emerges is a cohesive narrative-critical case that the Twelve are not an equivalent group to the disciples. In fact, the Twelve are set as foils against the faithful, active, and often nameless disciples who populate the narratives--many of whom are women. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen Who Do\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for students and scholars seeking a fuller understanding of women's roles in Jesus's ministry. Carey's argument not only clarifies the narrative of the Gospels but also raises questions about how the church conceives of women's leadership today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49744582312209,"sku":"NGR9780802879158","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50229832417553,"sku":"CIN0802879152G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":52888998805777,"sku":"CIN0802879152LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0802879152.jpg?v=1750818344"},{"product_id":"jesus-cry-from-the-cross-book-holly-j-carey-9780567690111","title":"Jesus' Cry From the Cross","description":"Using a multi-level approach to Mark 15:34, and contra to the opinion of the majority of Markan scholarship, a contextual reading of Ps 22:2 does not serve to negate or dilute the presentation of Jesus as one in distress.

The evidence that supports a contextual reading of the citation in the Markan narrative includes: (a) the importance of Jesus' impending resurrection\/vindication and its foreshadowing; (b) the relatively consistent contextual use of the scriptures in the narrative prior to Mark 15:34; (c) the patterns of the textual and liturgical use of the psalms and the presence of the motif of the Righteous Sufferer in Mark's socio-cultural milieu; (d) the presentation of Jesus as the Righteous Sufferer throughout the narrative; and (e) an exegesis of Mark 15:34 and the surrounding Markan passion-resurrection narrative with regard to the function of Ps 22 in the story of Jesus' death and resurrection.
