Description

Book Synopsis: Women were there. For centuries, discussions of early Christianity have focused on male leaders in the church. But there is ample evidence right in the New Testament that women were actively involved in ministry, at the frontier of the gospel mission, and as respected leaders. Nijay Gupta calls us to bring these women out of the shadows by shining light on their many inspiring contributions to the planting, growth, and health of the first Christian churches. He sets the context by exploring the lives of first-century women and addressing common misconceptions, then focuses on the women leaders of the early churches as revealed in Paul’s writings. We discover the major roles of people such as: Phoebe, Paul’s trusted coworker Prisca, strategic leader and expert teacher Junia, courageous apostle Nympha, representative of countless lesser-known figures When we understand the world in which Jesus and his followers lived and what the New Testament actually attests about women in the churches, it becomes clear that women were active participants and trusted leaders all along. They were welcomed by Paul and other apostles, were equipped and trained for ministry leadership, instructed others, traveled long distances, were imprisoned—and once in a while became heroes and giants. The New Testament writers tell their stories. It’s time for the church to retell them, again and again.

Details

Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church is a revolutionary book that brings to light the often overlooked role of women in the early Christian church. For too long, discussions about the early years of Christianity have centered around male leaders, leaving the incredible contributions of women in the shadows. Nijay Gupta's work sets out to change that.

With ample evidence from the New Testament, Gupta showcases how women were actively involved in ministry, paving the way for the spread of the gospel. From the frontier of the gospel mission to respected leadership positions, women played a crucial role in the planting, growth, and health of the first Christian churches. This book aims to shine a light on their inspiring stories and give them the recognition they deserve.

By exploring the lives of first-century women and dispelling common misconceptions, Gupta sets the context for understanding the significance of women in the early church. He then delves into Paul's writings, revealing the names and roles of influential women leaders who have remained largely unknown. Through the stories of Phoebe, Prisca, Junia, Nympha, and many others, readers will gain a newfound appreciation for the immense impact these women had on shaping the Christian faith.
