Abstract
The author focuses on the historically-reliable gospel pericopes in which a woman is the lead
character. She argues that these women provide the complete gospel − Jesus teaches, heals,
preaches and is anointed in the context of female-based stories and, of course, the women take
him from conception to resurrection. Jackson argues, not only from an analysis of the texts
themselves, but also from her personal experiences in the Middle East and Africa.
