Meet the women who followed Jesus even when the Twelve failed.To be a disciple is to follow Jesus. And that requires action. But in the gospels, the disciples often falter. The Twelve even abandon Jesus at his crucifixion in many of the narratives. Yet it is female disciples who remain faithful to Jesus to the end. What do we make of this?In Women Who Do, Holly J. Carey examines what it means to be a discipleand contends that its the women who best embody discipleship in the gospels. Carey describes the expectations and social roles for women in firstcentury GrecoRoman and Jewish contexts. Then she offers a close reading of each of the four gospels, as well as Acts of the Apostles. What emerges is a cohesive narrativecritical case that the Twelve are not an equivalent group to the disciples. In fact, the Twelve are set as foils against the faithful, active, and often nameless disciples who populate the narrativesmany of whom are women.Women Who Do is essential reading for students and scholars seeking a fuller understanding of womens roles in Jesuss ministry. Careys argument not only clarifies the narrative of the gospels but also raises questions about how the church conceives of womens leadership today.Crux Sola Best Book (2023)
