Bonnie Thurston examines the personalities, place, and power of women in the New Testament. She provides a cultural and religious context for them by briefly outlining the position of women in the Greco-Roman world. The aim is to reveal the ways in which early Christianity attempted to liberate people from oppression (particularly patriarchy), as well as to point out the places and ways in which the early Christian community compromised with the dominant society.

Author - Dr. Bonnie Thurston

"'Women in the New Testament' fulfills the hope of the 'Companions to the New Testament' series by exposing the educated non-specialist to the depth, breadth, and importance of feminist New Testament scholarship. Bonnie Thurston's interpretation is faithful to the text in its ancient context, revealing both the problems it poses for the twentieth-century reader committed to the equality of women in family, church, and society and the riches it offers such a liberationist agenda if it is read with new, feminist eyes."
