15 (7:30 - 9:30 pm)
This session will explicate the role of women and their contribution to
Christianity as a new religious movement in the ancient Greco-Roman World.
It will include commentary on the social and historical context of the
ancient world and locate Christianities with this context. It will also
involve discussion of the figuring of women in Christian writings and
their contribution to Christianities.
The figure of Mary Magdalene as a potential authoritative figure (in her
erasure) within the new religious movement will also be explored.
Facilitated by Darlene
