Women in Mission: From the New Testament to Today

In matters of mission history, most major works that treat the full sweep of the church's missional self-understanding are less than helpful in understanding women's part of that narrative. Smith tries to redress the balance with a comprehensive history of mission that highlights the critical contributions of women, as well as the theological developments that influenced their role. Women in Mission is a landmark in women's history and essential reading for anyone engaged in historical, theological, mission, and women's studies.
