Women of Early Christianity

"WOMEN OF EARLY CHRISTIANITY" by Rev. Alfred Brittain and Mitchell Carroll is a historical exploration of Christianity's transformative impact on women's roles and status in its early centuries. The book recounts the lives of various female figures, including Mary, the mother of Jesus, examining their contributions to the faith and their social conditions during the Apostolic Age. It highlights how Christianity introduced a new moral era, promoting gender equality and challenging traditional societal norms, while also acknowledging the diverse experiences of women, some thriving under the new faith and others grappling with existing constraints. The authors aim to provide a comprehensive view of this pivotal period in women's history, recognizing both the successes and struggles of women as they navigated the changing landscape of early Christianity.
