¡Magdala! Mujeres y Estigmas. La Reivindicación del Rol de las Mujeres en la Sociedad a Partir de la Praxis de Jesús de Nazaret

Abstract

“Magdala! Women and stigmas. The vindication of the role of women in society from the praxis of Jesus of Nazareth” is a work that seeks from a biblical-theological reflection to remember and highlight the importance of women in the missionary work of Christianity as a result of the experience with the ‘Master’ of Galilee, This led to the rise of the domestic churches and their leadership by the disciples of the Nazarene, which unfortunately was changing at the end of the first century due to the rejection of those churches by men who focused more on establishing an institutionality than following the teachings of the son of Mary and Joseph.

Therefore, the text seeks to make visible what was the understanding and treatment of women, initially in the Greek culture, passing through the Latin and then with the Jewish. In addition to this, allusion is made to the dignity that many women achieved through their closeness to Jesus of Nazareth and that later changed to the detriment of what many of them had achieved in the early days of the primitive Church. This neglect of the role of women in the early Church caused the treatment of women to be reduced to a more domestic sphere, which marked not only the lifestyle as established by the Church, but also the family and social environment. This lasted until after the middle of the 20th century.
