Description

Uncover the hidden history of early Christianity through the eyes of the remarkable women who played a crucial role in its spread. In Band of Angels, distinguished historian Kate Cooper brings to light the stories of women from all walks of life who were instrumental in the rapid expansion of Christianity.

Drawing on meticulous research and rare contemporary accounts, Cooper reveals how these women navigated the complexities of the ancient world to lay the foundations of the early Christian church. Praised as "personal, fresh, and timely" by The Tablet and "engaging reading for specialists and general readers alike" by Kirkus.

From the Galilean women who followed Jesus to the influential Desert Mothers, their contributions have long been overlooked but are now vividly brought to life.

This compelling narrative not only highlights the spiritual and social impact of these women but also demonstrates how their legacy continues to inspire and shape modern faith communities. Band of Angels is a testament to the power of unseen individuals and the transformative potential of ideas, one household at a time.
