This collection of essays focuses on issues related to gender   at the intersection of religious discourses in antiquity. To that end, an   array of traditions is analyzed with the aim of more fully situating the   construction and representation of gender in early Christian, Jewish and   Greco-Roman argumentation.  Taken as a whole, these essays contribute to the goal of displaying the   wide range of options that are available for examining the interconnection   of gender, rhetoric, power, and ideology, especially as they relate to   identity formation in the ancient world during the early centuries of the   common era.  The focus on ancient conceptions of gender makes this collection   particularly useful not only for biblical scholars, but also for   classicists and researchers working in the field of gender studies, as well   as for those interested in exploring similar issues in other religious   traditions or in Western religious traditions of different time periods.
