In this lucid and highly readable study, Parks investigates the oldest recoverable body of Jesus's teaching and finds a deep original commitment to male and female equality. This will be an important book for scholars of both women in earliest Christianity and the historical Jesus. -Helen Bond

Examining the hypothetical earliest layer of Jesus's sayings known as Q, Sara Parks argues that Jesus deliberately crafted parabolic teachings regarding the basileia of God to appeal to both male and female adherents. ...She shows that Jesus's rhetoric of gender, as remembered in Q, constitutes some of the earliest evidence for the study of first-century Jewish women. -Sarah Rollens
.
With breathtaking clarity and great political and theoretical sensitivity, Parks's important study of women in Q both augments the conversation about the historical Jesus and has profound consequences for anyone interested in the role of women in early Christianity. -Candida Moss
