Women in Early Christianity is a collection of writings from the Church Fathers, describing the Church's view of women. Miller starts the volume with an excellent introduction giving a broad overview of the historical setting of the Church and a quick description of the overall trends summarizing how women were frequently viewed during Early Christianity. Women in Early Christianity is organized topically, which sections addressing women's roles in the church, virginity, asceticism, domestic life and female imagery throughout the Early Church. Miller offers clear summaries of the included texts, giving the reader the historical facts needed to understand the setting and significance of these documents. Her style is clear and thoughtful, and the book is formatted in such a way that it is easy to see follow the historical development of the roles of women throughout this time period.
Overall, this is a very positive look at women during Early Christianity offering texts praising women and showing their various roles in church leadership. Miller is able to put some of the negative comments about women into their appropriate historical context, showing how the Early Church Fathers were shaped greatly by the culture that they were a part of. Miller appropriately locates these documents within a patriarchal society and encourages the reader to recognize the limitations that we now face in trying to study women in a time period where women were not frequently educated or encouraged to write theologically themselves, therefore limiting the types of sources that we have available to us today. Women in Early Christianity is a brilliant compellation of texts showing both the ways women were demeaned as well as honored within Early Church history. Miller's introductions and comments add much to this text and allow the reader to easily follow the various views of women during this time period and to understand the historical and theological significance of these writings.
