Beschreibung

In The Lost Apostle award-winning journalist Rena Pederson investigates a little known subject in early Christian history--the life and times of the female apostle Junia. Junia was an early convert and leading missionary whose story was "lost" when her name was masculinized to Junias in later centuries. The Lost Apostle unfolds like a well-written detective story, presenting Pederson's lively search for insight and information about a woman some say was the first female apostle.

Rezensionen

--Linda Ellerbee, award-winning television producer,journalist and best-selling author of Take Big Bites, MoveOn, and And So It Goes
"This is a very readable introduction to some of the characters and stories about women from early Christianity that are known to scholars but are often forgotten rather than celebrated in the rest of the church." (U.S. Catholic Magazine, January 2007)"Thanks to Rena Pederson for digging into The Case of the MissingApostle like a good police reporter. Junia the apostle was one ofthe first victims of identity theft. Restoring her name is aservice to women everywhere."
--William B. Lawrence, dean; professor of American churchhistory, Perkins School of Theology, Southern MethodistUniversity
"Reading Pederson's work is like perusing areporter's notebook. She invites anyone who turns these pagesto help her think about which question to ask next in the searchfor truth. In the end, she rewards her readers for sharing thisspiritual, intellectual, and journalistic pursuit by reminding usthat the best human searches are satisfied with a discovery thatthe truth we seek is actually seeking us."
--Dr. Sheron Patterson, senior minister, Highland Hills UnitedMethodist Church; newspaper columnist; and author of Sisters: AMile in Her Shoes, Lessons from the Lives of Old TestamentWomen
"As a clergywoman I am strengthened by Rena's work. She has donewhat should have been done years ago. Junia is the role model we'vebeen searching for. This should be required reading inseminaries."
