About the Book

For a generation, Barbara MacHaffie's fascinating Her Story: Women in Christian Tradition has enabled readers to enter into and recover the oft-ignored or submerged stories of women in the Christian tradition, from biblical times to now. MacHaffie's brief history is now fully updated and revised here and combined with her lively anthology of primary readings to offer unparalleled access to the stories and authentic voices of Christian women over two millennia. This new edition not only affords more and better coverage of every period than before but also boasts a companion Web site with many helpful pedagogical tools. Chapter summaries, study questions, and related Web links vividly bring each period to life in portraits, artifacts, and other primary materials.
