In Memory of Her by Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza

More than ten years after it was first published, this book is as important and influential as when it first appeared. By way of celebration, Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza has written a new introduction, surveying responses and developments over recent years and the issues which arise from them, and commenting on her own intentions. This gives added value to what is already a classic.

Here is a classic alternative reconstruction of the early church from a woman's perspective'It is a serious contribution to women's history and, at the same time, it carries an argument for major reassessment of Christian living and church structure to the extent that they express partiarchal domination and continue to confirm it.'
