Contents:
Women as co-workers with Paul -- Women as homemakers in the post-Pauline letters -- Women as disciples and prophets in the canonical and apocryphal Gospels and Acts of Apostles -- Missionary women from the second to the fifteenth century -- Missionary women in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries -- Missionary women in the nineteenth century and until Vatican II -- Missionary women since Vatican II -- A feminist missiology for contemporary missionary women.
Subject: In matters of mission history, most major works that treat the full sweep of the church's missional self-understanding are less than helpful in understanding women's part of that narrative. Smith tries to redress the balance with a comprehensive history of mission that highlights the critical contributions of women and the theological developments that influenced their role. --From publisher's description.
