John Dickson: 本集探讨了早期基督教女性在教会和教义发展中的重要作用,以德克勒的故事为例,展现了她们如何挑战社会规范,并为信仰付出巨大牺牲。她们的故事,即使部分是传奇,也反映了早期基督徒对女性在罗马世界影响力的想象。同时,本集也探讨了马利亚·抹大拉和保罗在教会历史中的地位和影响,以及对她们的误解。 John Dickson: 本集还探讨了耶稣时代女性的经济地位和社会地位,以及她们对耶稣传道活动的经济支持。同时,分析了早期教会中女性殉道者的故事,例如柏彼图阿和费利西塔斯,以及她们的信仰和生活对后世的影响。 John Dickson: 最后,本集还探讨了对早期教会中女性角色的误读和偏见,以及如何更客观地看待她们在教会历史中的贡献。 Lynn Cohick: 早期基督教女性的生活状况与她们的经济地位密切相关,大多数女性从事体力劳动或手工业。虽然她们在法律上依赖男性监护人,但她们拥有财产权和一定程度的经济自主权。耶稣邀请女性跟随他并非独一无二,犹太教中也存在女性参与宗教生活的现象。耶稣的包容性信息对所有人都有益,这吸引了很多人跟随他。 Lynn Cohick: 保罗的书信并非压制女性,而是在当时社会背景下宣讲福音。他与许多女性合作,并视她们为同工,他对女性的看法被误解了。早期教会并非对女性充满敌意,尤其是在二世纪和三世纪,涌现出许多杰出的女性,例如柏彼图阿和费利西塔斯,她们的经历和思想值得我们学习。 Lynn Cohick: 马克丽娜是尼萨的格列高利的姐妹,她对教会神学做出了贡献,并被其兄弟视为导师。普林尼的信件揭示了早期教会中女性担任执事的地位,以及当时社会对基督徒的迫害。

Shownotes Transcript

This episode, we’ll be zooming in on the early Christian women, for whom we have good evidence, and who had a profound impact on the church and its teaching in their time.

Our guide is Dr. Lynn Cohick, who's written books on the topic, including* Christian Women in the Patristic World: Their Influence, Authority, and Legacy in the Second through the Fifth Centuries* (co-authored with Amy Brown Hughes) and Women in the World of the Earliest Christians.

She paints a vivid picture for us of what life in ancient Rome might have been like for the first women to hear the gospel.
