Book Synopsis Women Healing/Healing Women by : Elaine Wainwright

Download or read book Women Healing/Healing Women written by Elaine Wainwright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Women Healing/ Healing Women' begins with a search for women who were healers in the Graeco-Roman world of the late Hellenistic and early Roman period. Women healers were honoured in inscriptions and named by medical writers, and were familiar enough to be stereotyped in plays and other writings. What emerges by the first century of the Common Era is a world in which women functioned as healers but where healing becomes a contested site for gender relations. By the time the gospels are written the place of women as healers is effectively erased. The book uses the historical and cultural evidence to re-read the gospel texts and discover healers in a woman pouring out ointment, healed women bearing on their bodies the language describing Jesus, and even in women possessed by demons.
