Abstract: While some have suggested that the New Testament writers were unkind to women, the simple fact is that for that time in history the New Testament situations involving women tended to elevate them to a higher level than the Jewish and non-Jewish societies of that time did. Women were highly involved in Christ’s ministry as well as the ministry of the early church. One writer wrote this about women in the New Testament.that women travelled (sic) with and helped support Jesus and the disciples, that women, not men, were the last at Jesus’ cross and the first at his tomb, that Paul in various letters greeted women as co-workers. Women who wholeheartedly dedicated their lives to such religious activities received extravagant accolades from the post-New Testament writers This brief paper will not cover everything about women and the New Testament Church. It shows that the New Testament writers recorded that women were not to be treated according to rabbinical traditions.It will also go over roles, responsibilities, and even opportunities Christian woman have.Plus is shows that many women were praised and encouraged for their contributions to Christianity.
Keywords: women, church, Christ’s ministry, Christianity.
