"Early Christian Migrant Women along the Trade Routes of the Roman Empire"
Whereas most women mentioned in the Gospels of the New Testament led a settled life and are often mentioned because they assisted the itinerant Jesus and his disciples through their means and property, the women mentioned in the NT letters are often itinerant. The talk will take as point of departure the theories that Christianity in its earliest phase developed along the ancient Roman trade routes, and among the many who travelled, worked and earned a living along those routes. The itinerant women mentioned in the letters will then be placed within this context. The talk will then discuss whether and how the reconstruction that then emerges can expand the picture of the female presence in the Christ movement from the very beginning - and in its earliest developments.
