This volume examines questions concerning the construction of gender and identity in the earliest days of what is now Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Methodologically explicit, the contributions analyze textual and material sources related to these religious traditions in their cultural contexts. The sources examined are predominantly products of patriarchal elite discourses requiring innovative approaches to unveil aspects of gender otherwise hidden. This volume extends the discussion represented in the volume Gender and Second-Temple Judaism (2020) and highlights the fruitfulness of interdisciplinary research beyond anachronistic discipline distinctions.

Shayna Sheinfeld is assistant professor of religion at Augsburg University in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Juni Hoppe is junior executive editor of the Encyclopedia of Jewish-Christian Relations (EJCR) and director of the Intercultural Center Genezareth (IZG) in Berlin, Germany. Kathy Ehrensperger is research fellow at the Faculty of Theology, University of Basel, Switzerland.
