Dehumanization has led to serious misinterpretation of the Gospels. On the one hand, Christians have often made Jesus so much more than human that it seemed inappropriate to ask about the influence other human beings had on him, male or female. On the other hand, women have been treated as less than fully human, their names omitted from stories and their voices and influence on Jesus neglected. When we ask the question this book does, what Jesus learned from women, puzzling questions that have frustrated readers of the Gospels throughout history suddenly find solutions. Weaving cutting edge biblical scholarship together with an element of historical fiction and a knack for writing for a general audience, James McGrath makes the stories of women in the New Testament come alive, and sheds fresh light on the figure of Jesus as well. This book is a must read for scholars, students, and anyone else interested in Jesus and/or in the role of ancient women in the context of their times.
Pueden tener algo que enseñar las mujeres a los varones? ¿También en la comunidad cristiana? Según el evangelio, el mismo Jesús aprendió de mujeres con las que se iba encontrando, de sus valores, de sus actitudes ante la vida y de sus acciones. Ellas también fueron maestras en las primeras comunidades."Con ellas tras Jesús" recoge cinco trabajos sobre mujeres que, en los evangelios y en los Hechos de los Apóstoles, son presentadas como prototipos de identidad cristiana para las comunidades.Este volumen de la colección ALETHEIA supone una invitación a continuar profundizando en el estudio de estas mujeres modelos de identidad cristiana con los que, tanto las mujeres como los varones, podemos aprender a ser seguidores del Nazareno.
Traducere de Radu Cucuteanu Cei mai mulți creștini cred că Isus Cristos, fiind Dumnezeu devenit om, era atoateștiutor, Învățătorul întregii omeniri. Să fie oare titlul acestei cărți o blasfemie? Ce putea să învețe Isus de la alții, și mai ales de la femei? James McGrath, un savant al Scripturii, reconstituie tocmai aceste întâlniri deloc întâmplătoare ale omului Isus, care și-a sporit experiența de viață și cunoașterea învățând cu smerenie de la bărbații vremii sale, dar și de la femei. Cartea aceasta ne va risipi, cu argumente solide, multe prejudecăți pe care încă le mai avem despre fascinantul Nazarinean de acum două mii de ani, istorisindu-ne uimit...

The past 20 years have seen an influx of women into the practice of public relations, yet gender-based disparities in pay and advancement remain a troubling reality. As the field becomes feminized, moreover, female and male practitioners alike confront the prospect of dwindling salaries and prestige. This landmark book presents a comprehensive examination of the status of women in public relations and proposes concrete ways to achieve greater parity in education and practice. The authors integrate the theoretical literature of public relations and gender with results of a major longitudinal study of women in the field, along with illuminating focus group and interview data.

Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. The project presents eight indicators structured around women’s interactions with the law as they move through their lives and careers: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. This year’s report updates all indicators as of October 1, 2020 and builds evidence of the links between legal gender equality and women’s economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make throughout their working lives, as well as the pace of reform over the past 50 years, Women, Business and the Law 2021 makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women’s economic empowerment. Prepared during a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, this edition also includes important findings on government responses to COVID-19 and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice.
The popular image of Scotland is dominated by widely recognized elements of Celtic culture. But a significant non-Celtic influence on Scotland's history has been largely ignored for centuries? This book argues that much of Scotland's history and culture from 1100 forward is Jewish. The authors provide evidence that many of the national heroes, villains, rulers, nobles, traders, merchants, bishops, guild members, burgesses, and ministers of Scotland were of Jewish descent, their ancestors originating in France and Spain. Much of the traditional historical account of Scotland, it is proposed, rests on fundamental interpretive errors, perpetuated in order to affirm Scotland's identity as a Celtic, Christian society. A more accurate and profound understanding of Scottish history has thus been buried. The authors' wide-ranging research includes examination of census records, archaeological artifacts, castle carvings, cemetery inscriptions, religious seals, coinage, burgess and guild member rolls, noble genealogies, family crests, portraiture, and geographic place names.
