{"product_id":"junia-eldon-jay-epp-9780800637712","title":"Junia: The First Woman Apostle","description":"The name \"Junia\" appears in Romans 16:7, and Paul identifies her (along with Andronicus) as \"prominent among the apostles.\" In this important work, Epp investigates the mysterious disappearance of Junia from the traditions of the church. Because later theologians and scribes could not believe (or wanted to suppress) that Paul had numbered a woman among the earliest churches' apostles, Junia's name was changed in Romans to a masculine form. Despite the fact that the earliest churches met in homes and that other women were clearly leaders in the churches (e.g., Prisca and Lydia), calling Junia an apostle seemed too much for the tradition. Epp tracks how this happened in New Testament manuscripts, scribal traditions, and translations of the Bible. In this thoroughgoing study, Epp restores Junia to her rightful place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eldon Jay Epp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0800637712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800637712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Augsburg Fortress Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.60w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2006 pg. 8","brand":"Eldon Jay Epp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990344564991,"sku":"9780800637712","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b0d6a831-63ec-4b2f-97ce-a00530bbb2e6.jpg?v=1683304178","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/junia-eldon-jay-epp-9780800637712","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
