Schaefers life work " Women in Pastoral Office: The Story of Santa Prassede; Rome" by Oxford University Press has arrived at a perfect junction in the more recent studies of the role of women in the Catholic Church. She has used many of the sources about women in the early Roman Church but added her own unique Art Historian/Theologian perspective and fresh findings; binding everything together like a quilt. Besides the ancient texts from places like the Vatican Library and beyond she draws on images; icons; frescoes; mosaics; statuary; sacred relief and stone work to point out what is essentially right there in front of our eyes and under our noses. Authentic places and personages which authorities have overlooked for a long time; i.e.;the visual truth of the significance of women in the establishment and growth of the Church. As a traveler; if you only go to one Church in Rome; make it Santa Prassede; a mini Vatican; which she uses as the central fact for her book. Tucked away; and easily missed; on a small narrow street just diagonally across from the famous Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore; Santa Prassede tells a wondrous tale about the primacy of women in the Church. Santa Prassedes mosaics; the tiny chapel in the crypt; and the glorious small Zeno Chapel on the side; explained fully by Dr. Schaefer; will make the readers education complete. The sisters church; St. Pudentiana down the Esquiline Hill not far away; sits on one of the oldest sites in Rome for a house church; and the authors knowledge of that church adds to this fascinating story of two sisters of 2nd- 3rd century Rome. Although intended mainly for students; scholars; theological universities; and those engaged in the debate about the equality of women in the Church; this book is for anyone who wants more herstory; versus history. Maybe there are readers who wish to study the roots of Christianity; or those who would like to know about one of the many secrets Rome holds; or hearty readers who love architecture; art and what they really mean for humanity. Mary Schaefers style and prose can be heavy at times being a world class scholar; but you can still feel the passion and the desire to reclaim a new "foundational myth." This book is going to hold an honored position for a long time and you will want to have your own copy to read at your own pace; to say nothing of the many other leads her copious footnotes offer to those directly engaged in the field.
