| Summary: | Bruce Winter has undertaken an ambitious, even noble project. Eschewing the danger zone of St Paul's much-discussed pronouncements on the role of women in the early church, the director of the Cambridge Institute of Early Christianity in the Graeco-Roman World chooses instead to examine the social, legal, and intellectual context in which such statements as 1 Cor. 11:2–16 and 1 Tim. 5:3–16 were made., The book is intended to bring together and analyse the scholarship of areas now highly specialized and therefore less permeable, including papyrology, archaeology, and epigraphy. Winter's prime target is the divinity student—or even scholar—less familiar with the work of Greek and Roman historians of the early Christian era than with the New Testament studied in isolation. |
