Publisher's Synopsis
""Portrait Of The Consecrated Woman In Greek Christian Literature Of The First Four Centuries"" is a comprehensive study of the portrayal of women in early Christian literature written in Greek. The author, M. Rosamond Nugent, examines the lives and experiences of women who chose to live a life of consecration to God, including virgins, widows, and ascetics. The book explores the cultural and historical context of these women, as well as the theological and spiritual significance of their choices. Nugent draws on a wide range of primary sources, including letters, hagiographies, and theological treatises, to paint a vivid picture of the lives of these women and their impact on the early Christian community. This book is an important contribution to the study of early Christianity and the role of women in the development of the faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
