Briefly outline the historic roles women played in early Christianity

For the Unit 3 Discuss assignment, please answer the following discussion question from p. 333 of the textbook: “In the twenty-first-century church, Paul’s attitude toward women arouses considerable debate. Briefly outline the historic roles women played in early Christianity, including the Gospel narratives about Jesus’ women disciples and Paul’s recognition of Phoebe, Prisca, and other ‘co-workers.’ How did meeting in house churches facilitate women’s leadership positions and how did the church eventually adopt typically Greco-Roman restrictions on women’s participation in church affairs? Do the social assumptions of antiquity necessarily determine women’s position today?” Please cite at least three New Testament texts in support of your answer.
