An evaluation of the evidence of women’s leadership, particularly ecclesiological ordination, in various aspects of early church life, including spiritual/monastic, liturgical, theological, political, and missionary. Focuses on the first-sixth centuries of the common era with emphasis on the formal suppression of earlier historical evidence and canonical exclusion of women in the Western European medieval church. Includes analysis of canonical and noncanonical scriptures; literary texts; and archaeological sources such as funerary, baptismal, and dedicatory inscriptions, mosaics, artifacts, and frescoes. Prerequisites: HX 6305 and HX 6306 .
