A portion of this work (parts of chapters 1, 4, and 5) exists in a somewhat different form in my doctoral dissertation, accepted by the University of Durham, England, in 1981. Again, I must express my gratitude to Professors C.K. Barrett (my advisor), J. McHugh, and A.T. Hanson for their assistance with my original thesis. In addition, I wish to thank Professor Graham Stanton for his help and suggestions when this new volume was being prepared.
Finally, I dedicate this work to women of faith engaged in the scholarly study of the New Testament material and the hermeneutical task of applying biblical texts to modern religious contexts. ‘Apply the whole of yourself to the text; apply the whole of the text to yourself’ (J. Bengel).
