Reihe: Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament 2. Reihe

Anhand von Beispielen antiker Frauen, die in griechisch-römischen Gemeinden Führungsrollen innehatten, entwickelt Susan E. Benton Modelle für die Wahrnehmung der Funktionsweise von Frauen in frühchristlichen Gruppen. Sie untersucht, wie Phoebe den Schirmherrinnen von Bürgerorganisationen ähnelte und wie Prisca und andere führende Frauen gleichsam wie "Mütter" in Gruppen agierten.
