Band of Angels

The Forgotten World of Early Christian Women

About this book

"A distinguished ancient historian's elegant study of the extraordinary women who helped lay the foundations of the early Christian church" ( Kirkus Reviews).
According to most recorded history, women in the ancient world lived invisibly. In Band of Angels, historian Kate Cooper has pieced together their story from the few contemporary accounts that have survived. Through painstaking detective work, she renders both the past and the present in a new light.
Band of Angels tells the remarkable story of how a new understanding of relationships took root in the ancient world. Women from all walks of life played an invaluable role in Christianity's rapid expansion. Their story is a testament to what unseen people can achieve, and how the power of ideas can change the world, on household at a time.
