Readings in Her Story: Women in Christian Tradition
A unique anthology. Barbara MacHaffie has
collected into one volume 74 of the most
important Christian documents and passages
by and about women. Ranging from Genesis to
now, these primary sources put the reader
directly in touch with the most significant
and influential events, personalities and
issues of women's religious history. Often
lamentably and sometimes gloriously, these
voices—ancient and modern, female and
male,
Roman Catholic and Protestant, feminist and
patriarchal—bear decisively on women's
identities today.
