Women Who Knew Paul (Zacchaeus Studies-New Testament)

Many of the people, especially the women, whose lives form part of the history of earliest Christianity are found in the New Testament because they are mentioned by Paul or were remembered in connection with him. Yet each of these individuals had an identity and role in the New Testament world far broader than her link with Paul. This book is a series of sketches which brings these women out of Paul's shadow and on to center stage. The women are grouped and studied under the following themes: Women in Paul's Family; Remembered for Their Faith (Lois and Eunice, Damaris); Household Heads (Lydia, Chloe, Nympha); Co Workers with the Apostle (Euodia and Syntyche, Prisca); A Deacon and an Apostle (Phoebe and Junia); Workers in the Lord and Other Church Members (Mary, Tryphaena and Tryphosa, Persis, the Mother of Rufus, Julia and the Sister of Nereus, Claudia, Apphia, the Daughters of Philip, Mary and Rhoda of Jerusalem); Women of the Jewish Aristocracy (Bernice and Drusilla).
