Author, Dimensions & Description

by Diane E. Peters

6 X 9" -- 230 pages

In a remarkable survey of canonical writings, traditional beliefs, and popular religious practices, Peters helps us to discover the real Martha of Bethany, a gospel witness, a woman of faith, a disciple of Jesus, a woman of action, and a missionary. She also explores the Martha of apocryphal and Gnostic literature, and Martha’s activities recorded in legends as a preacher, evangelist, and spiritual leader in Gaul.
