DESCRIPTION:Susan E. Hylen introduces first-century primary sources to illu
 minate listeners’ understanding of New Testament women. Finding Phoebe c
 ombines incisive scholarship and instructional sensibility to encourage li
 steners to develop their own informed interpretations of Scripture.\n\nCon
 trary to popular conceptions of “biblical womanhood” as passive and si
 lent\, women often served as leaders and prophets in their communities. Wo
 men owned one-third of all property during the period\, granting them acce
 ss to civic power through patronage. Many women worked outside the home an
 d were educated according to the needs of their professions. Through caref
 ul examination of “modesty” and “silence” in the Greco-Roman world
 \, Hylen reveals the centrality of these virtues to both men and women pra
 cticing self-control in service of communal good.\n\nHylen’s work will c
 hallenge listeners to free their minds of modern preconceptions and consid
 er New Testament women on their own terms. This practical book includes hi
 storical context\, scriptural evidence\, and questions for discussion.
