Jennifer Wojciechowski, assistant professor of church history, is the author of \u201cWomen and the Christian Story: A Global History,\u201d published by Fortress Press in 2022. Spanning two millennia and six continents, the book offers a fresh history of Christianity that foregrounds the story of Christian women.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a story about Christian women. It is a story of martyrs, mystics, missionaries, leaders, preachers, theologians, saints, and prophets,\u201d writes Wojciechowski. \u201cAt the very root of the story, though, is faith.\u201d In this modern narrative history, she uncovers the rich and essential contributions, large and small, of Christian women throughout time\u2014stories that have often been obscured during Christianity\u2019s 2,000-year history.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018Women and the Christian Story\u2019 provides an engaging and insightful overview of the many ways women from around the world have shaped Christianity through their actions, words, and writings,\u201d writes Merry Wiesner-Hanks, distinguished professor emerita of history at the University of Wisconsin\u2013Milwaukee. \u201cIt combines breadth and depth, stretching from biblical times to the present, while including fascinating details on individual women and their communities. Wojciechowski effectively translates decades of scholarship in both women\u2019s and Christian history into a balanced, well-contextualized, and inspirational story for students and general readers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
