First Converts: Rich Pagan Women and the Rhetoric of Mission in Early Judaism and Christianity - Contraversions: Jews and Other Differences
Shelly Matthews
It has often been said that rich pagan women, much more so than men, were attracted both to early Judaism and Christianity. This book provides a new reading of sources from which this truism springs, focusing on two texts from the turn of the first century, Josephus's Antiquities and Luke's Acts.
