Question

In which capacity did women help spread Christianity?

as scribes writing sermons



as missionaries who traveled the empire



as members of the clergy in small communities



as religious advisors to Roman emperors

Answer 1

There is quite a mixed message in the Bible and in the reality of the first Christian communities. Paul advised women to remain silent when they were in Church, and ask their mates later, the meaning of what was said. Doesn't exactly coincide with writing sermons. Nor were they well accepted as advisers, although I think they did manage to say things if they worked it correctly. A wise man never disregards wisdom when he hears it, regardless of the source, but I don't think that's the answer you want.

They traveled the empire, I think is your best choice. Certainly you can read that into Christ's death. Women were on hand to discover the empty tomb for example. And they were there when Jesus spoke them after he had arisen.

Answer 2

As missionaries who traveled the empire.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the most likely answer to the question. Women helped spread Christianity during its early stage as missionaries who travelled the empire. During these years, women were able to spread the word of Christianity and in this way allow it to reach a wider audience. Women were not scribes or religious advisors, and in general, were not members of the clergy either.
