But what does this mean for women who are often missing, misrepresented, or outnumbered in the androcentric historical tradition? \u003ci\u003eWomen in the Orthodox Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e engages with feminist insights to argue that ignoring this bias in Christian tradition is theologically problematic for Orthodox faith. By critically examining the spiritual values that shape Orthodoxy, the commemorations of women saints within it, and liturgical and doctrinal expressions that shape it, author Ashley Marie Purpura makes the case that it is theologically necessary to unsay the patriarchal limits of tradition and seek a more inclusive interpretation instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn acknowledging the messy entanglement between tradition, theology, and historical patriarchal values, \u003ci\u003eWomen in the Orthodox Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e advocates for women's voices, contributions, and diverse humanity within the church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ashley Marie Purpura\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268209227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268209223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ashley Marie Purpura","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46489622544639,"sku":"9780268209223","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52919c73-69fe-4237-9066-1f32bfb75306.jpg?v=1736954089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-in-the-orthodox-tradition-ashley-marie-purpura-9780268209223","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
