Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eIn Women in Their Place Jorunn Økland takes the archaeological remains at Corinth as a starting point from which to develop an interdisciplinary, theoretically informed reading of Paul's utterances on women in 1 Corinthians 11-14. In this section of the letter Paul deals with the ritual gatherings and describes the ekklesia as a of ritual space distinct from domestic space. Økland assesses the text within a larger context of four different gender models found in temple architecture, rituals and literary texts. Whilst Paul's teaching in the letter effectively engendered 'church' as male space, his use of a variety of gender models left early Christian women with many other notions of ritual space to explore.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   Review   \u003cp\u003e“\"This is a very important book that should have a significant impact on Pauline scholarship\" Peter Oakes, SOTS Booklist 2007” ―Peter Oakes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“'Women in Their Place is a much longer book, based on a doctoral thesis, and therefore a great deal more elaborate intellectually, inclined to leave no stone unturned, no avenue unexplored.' ~ Revd Leslie Houlden, Church Times, 14 July 2006” ―Leslie Houlden, Church Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\"Økland offers an often refreshing and useful analysis of not only Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, but also a wider set of texts that reflect and construct an ancient discourse of gender and sanctuary space. Økland's book has much to recommend a careful reading...the study is strongly recommended for scholars in a wide range of fields (Pauline studies, feminist interpretation, and Roman era material culture, among others). Økland's work could prove to be foundational for a renewed engagement with these texts and ancient gender discourse broadly conceived. It marks a step forward in the effective integration of a variety of approaches and materials, while demonstrating the explanatory potential of just such an integration.\" - RBL, September 2005” ―Review of Biblical Literature\u003c\/p\u003e           About the Author   Jorunn Økland, professor of Gender Studies in the Humanities, Centre for Gender Research, University of Oslo (formerly Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies, University of Sheffield).
