Informazioni su questo libro

<P><I>Cripina and Her Sisters</I> explores visual imagery found on burial artifacts of prominent early Christian women. It carefully situates the tomb art within the cultural context of customary Roman commemorations of the dead and provides an in-depth review of women&#x2018;s history in the first four centuries of Christianity. From this, a fascinating picture emerges of women&#x2018;s authority in the early church--a picture either not readily available or recognized, or even sadly distorted in the written history.</P></P>
