Bøger af Joan Taylor

On staff arrival day in 2014, we kicked off with a potluck "family" dinner. That event has since become the Florida Girls State "Family Reunion" dinner. Unit 109, the Florida Girls State virtual unit, decided to compile some of these favorite recipes as a fundraiser for FGS. All proceeds from the sale of this cookbook will go to FGS. We hope you enjoy these recipes and think of Girls State often.

Do you think that Jesus only surrounded himself with men? Think again. Inspired by their popular Channel 4 documentary Jesus' Female Disciples, historians Helen Bond and Joan Taylor explore the way in which Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Mary, Martha and a whole host of other women - named and unnamed - have been remembered by posterity, noting how many were silenced, tamed or slurred by innuendo - though occasionally they get to slay dragons. Women Remembered looks at the representation of these women in art, and the way they have been remembered in inscriptions and archaeology. And of course they dig into the biblical texts, exposing misogyny and offering alternative and unexpected ways of appreciating these women as disciples, apostles, teachers, messengers and church-founders. At a time when both the church and society more widely are still grappling with the full inclusion and equality of women, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the historical and cultural origins of Christianity.
