THEO 437 - Women in the Early Church

Institution:

Saint Louis University-Main Campus

Subject:

Theological Studies

Description:

Observing a widespread ambiguity in women's lives between subordination, exemplary status, leadership roles, and opposition on account of it, this course examines a wide range of primary texts by and about women in the early Christian churches in order to explore the relationship between faith and culture as the context for understanding women's role and status in the early church. We will also employ hermeneutical principles in the interpretation of these texts in order to assess the relevance of their application to the modern context.
