Thirty years after the publication of Antoinette Clark Wire’s groundbreaking The Corinthian Women Prophets, an interdisciplinary, international, and intergenerational group of scholars reflects upon Wire’s impact on New Testament scholarship. Essays pursue historical and theoretical possibilities using methods ranging from rhetorical analysis to feminist and other politically and ethically attuned methods of interpreting Paul’s letters and the history of ancient Mediterranean assemblies. Each contributor reconsiders how both the methods and results of Wire’s work reveal the possibilities of other approaches and other people who are worth our attention and effort.
