Modern readers of the New Testament often notice its varying ideas about women. Some
passages encouraged women to be submissive and remain silent. Yet in others, women
characters owned property, headed households, or spoke with approval. Women in the
New Testament World helps readers understand this conflicting evidence. It argues
that social norms of the time encouraged traditional feminine virtues. However, as
Susan Hylen argues, women in the culture enacted these virtues in a variety of ways,
including active leadership in households, associations, and cities. In contrast to
earlier approaches that divided the evidence into groups that either allowed or forbade
women's leadership, this book points to a tension that was pervasive across different
groups and regions of the Roman world. Society widely viewed women as inferior to
men yet applauded their active pursuit of familial and civic interests. Thus, it was
not the case that some women led while others were silent; instead, women were praised
for modesty at the same time as they exerted influence in their communities. Elaborating
on this rich historical background, Hylen illuminates new possibilities in New Testament
