In Memory of Her
"This work is a first within the discipline of New Testament Studies."
—New York Times Book Review
"A brilliant scholarly treatise which succeeds in bringing to our consciousness women who played an important role in the origins of Christianity."
—Sisters Today
"One of those mind-arresting thought-turning books that angles the reader’s way of seeing old texts in new and fruitful ways . . . The vision she offers is engaging, enlightening and utterly interesting. Most important, it is plausible."
—The Christian Century
"Ground-breaking, quietly but completely radical, thoroughly in union with Christian tradition at its best, and a cause for great hope in the church of the future."
—Best Sellers
"New information and fresh insights expressed in facile prose make In Memory of Her a satisfying book."
—National Catholic Reporter
"Must reading for scholars and students of the early church and New Testament, for church people ('leadership' included), for feminists and likely for others as well."
