Description
Summary:The article reflects about part of the history of the movement of Jesus which had continuity in the first Judeo-Christian communities. It elaborates a theoretical referential on biblical texts as sources for historical investigation and on the category of gender as an analytical instrument of the power relations in the past and in the present. It weaves together commentaries and arguments about some of the women agents in the history of the originating Christianities, recapturing their ecclesiastical-theological and historical-cultural relevance. It questions the Kyriospatriarchal historiographies of the past and of the present in the interpretative life and history of its texts.
