In the first century A.D. a "new" kind of Roman woman appeared whose provocative dress and decorum departed radically from the image of modesty that epitomized the traditional wife or widow. How did the early church respond? In this fascinating book Bruce Winter explores for the first time the impact of the new women on Christian wives and widows living in the early Pauline communities. Combining sound knowledge of the Graeco-Roman world and of Paul's writings, Winter shows how changing social mores of women -- changes that even drew sharp responses from Roman legislators and teachers -- help to explain controversial texts in the New Testament. According to Winter, in the Roman world you were what you wore. Grasping this underlying reality it crucial to understanding what was at stake in Scriptures in 1 Corinthians that addresses marriage veils, discussions of dress code and the activities of young widows in 1 Timothy, and Titus's call to older women to instruct new wives. Based on close investigation of Graeco-Roman society, this book makes significant contributions both to our understanding of first-century life and the social background of the Bible.

How do we retrieve the lives of "real Roman women"? This book presents a range of examples to support the argument that our ideas of what we "know" about women's work, sexuality, commerce and political activity in the Roman world have been shaped by the format, or genre, of each ancient source.

'Perpetua shouted out with joy as the sword pierced her, for she wanted to taste some of the pain and she even guided the hesitant hand of the trainee gladiator towards her own throat' Lives of Roman Christian Women is a unique collection of letters and documents from the third to the fifth centuries, celebrating Christian women from across the Roman Empire. During a crucial period in which Christianity transformed from a persecuted faith to the official religion of the Empire, these writings reveal the women who chose to dedicate their lives to Christ, by embracing martyrdom or by adopting a life of poverty and prayer, renouncing not only wealth but also their duties as wives and mothers.
