Helps readers understand the imaging of the church as a woman and mother in its beginnings and the implications for the contemporary church.

The Church as Woman and Mother demonstrates how we have inherited gendered images for the church that derive from particular contexts, and that the loss of these contexts makes the images devoid of the depth that they possessed originally. Ancient Roman concepts such as virginity, marriage, and motherhood, projected onto the church, actually pointed to positive concepts. Examples of these concepts are the cultivation of virtues, the affirmation of bodies and sex, and the call to active participation of the entire community.
