Abstract Jairus's Daughter and the Female Body in Mark demonstrates that ubiquitous and significant depictions of children in the literature and material culture of the first century CE shaped the mindsets of the Gospel of Mark's original audience. Through a detailed analysis of the story of Jairus's daughter in Mark 5 and the archaeological remains depicting female childen, Janine E. Luttick reveals how ancient hearers of the story encountered an image of a female child that communicated ideas of hope to Jesus's followers and in turn how readers today can understand the authority of Jesus, the domestic structure of early Christianity, and the suffering and loss experienced by some early Christians.-- Provided by publisher.
