“…Fiorenza, for example, asserts that there is evidence of an egalitarian, inclusive and anti-patriarchal community in early Christian discussions 50 For example, Mayeski (2004) explores the role of women 'at the table' and as theologians in mediaeval times and thus challenges the handed down wisdom that women in the church are only recently appearing in senior positions. Eisen (2000) also looks at women office holders in the early church.…”

This article briefly surveys the historical evidence of Byzantine deaconesses and trends in modern research on the order. By drawing attention to the detrimental effects of research bias, the value of an historical theology of deaconesses becomes clear. The diaconate, like all the major orders, evolved throughout the early Christian period reflecting an adaptation to changing circumstances. Historical deaconesses should be interpreted by the theology of their own time and place, rather than through the lens of the more limited liturgical role of the modern diaconate. Does theological continuity exist between the apostolic diakonia and the ordination and vesting of deaconesses in the eighth century? An historical theology of this enigmatic, yet canonical ministry will reveal the varied iterations of deaconesses extended the ministry of the apostles and bishops into women's spheres in a manner consistent with the Church's enduring theology and mission.

Las noventa y dos páginas de notas y referencias bibliográficas demuestran la profundidad de la investigación.…”

Ally Kateusz es profesora de historia eclesiástica en la Universidad de Missouri e investigadora del controversial Winjgaards Institute for Catholic Research. Se ha especializado en el arte cristiano en la antigüedad y medievo temprano. Esta obra, su segundo libro, está dividida en ocho capítulos. Algunos consisten en artículos previamente publicados que han sido revisados y ampliados. Su tesis central radica en afirmar que María de Nazareth fue considerada una líder eclesiástica y litúrgica en el cristianismo primitivo, lo cual se ve reflejado en representaciones artísticas y literarias de la época. Ella también aborda las inevitables implicancias que la percepción de la figura de María, como líder, tuvo en el rol de la mujer en el cristianismo primitivo, específicamente en funciones de liderazgo, enseñanza y evangelización.
