What Do the Latter Day Saints Have to Learn From the Religious Lives of Women in Antiquity?

How do we understand the lives of women who lived in ancient times? Where do historians and scholars go for evidence when there’s relatively little available in written records?

In this episode of the Maxwell Institute Podcast, we will talk with Dr. Catherine Gines Taylor, a Nibley Postdoctoral Fellow at the Neal A. Maxwell Institute, and Dr. Mark Ellison, an Associate Professor of Ancient Scripture at Brigham Young University, to learn more

*about the lives of Christian women in antiquity
*how to uncover or unearth the religious lives of women
*and discuss how the material record or historical “stuff” reveals religious meaning and practice.

You can purchase their book Material Culture and Women’s Religious Experience in Antiquity, co-edited with Carolyn Osiek, wherever books are sold, including from Amazon and the Rowman and Littlefield website.
