This riveting exploration of a buried, nearly erased, and still discounted first-century scripture reveals that the foundation of Christianity is far more radical and embracing of personal and collective change than we are often led to believe.In the middle of the first century, in Roman occupied Turkey, a seventeen-year-old girl named Thecla is sentenced to burn at the stake for refusing to marry. Thecla, who had overheard the apostle Paul share stories about Christ from her bedroom window, finds her life turned inside out. She transforms through seven spiritual stages, and by the end, Thecla inspires an entire arena of women to join in her efforts of saving herself. And when Thecla’s free, the scripture reads, “the women all cried out in a loud voice, as if from one mouth.”This is the story at the heart of The Acts of Paul and Thecla, and when Meggan Watterson, a Harvard-trained feminist theologian, first encountered it in seminary, she felt like she had finally found the most personally relevant and liberating piece of scripture.
