Talk:Women in Church history

Christian Church

"Church" appears to be a localism for "Christian Church".--Wetman (talk) 22:14, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

The expression Church history comes from the historian Eusebius and does refer to the Christian Church in a generic way, but that's how most people understand the word Church, as the expressions Jewish Church or Buddhist Church are fairly rare. ADM (talk) 08:27, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Mishandling its sources

An article on such an important topic is not best left to one editor. Of Aquinas we learn that "he began his argument of women and their involvement in the creation story by quoting Aristotle's misogynist view of a woman as being 'a misbegotten man'." Of course, Aquinas "began his argument" by describing the view he was to oppose. Aquinas agrees with Aristotle to a point, but his conclusion as against The Philosopher is this: "On the other hand, as regards human nature in general, woman is not misbegotten, but is included in nature's intention as directed to the work of generation. Now the general intention of nature depends on God, Who is the universal Author of nature. Therefore, in producing nature, God formed not only the male but also the female." I'm not sure that somebody who can't properly read Aquinas should be editing articles on church history at all. Srnec (talk) 05:23, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Women in Church history is a fairly broad topic, but I feel that we can organize the content through several successive stages of history : Paul of Tarsus and women, women in the Patristic age, women in the Middle Ages, women during the Reformation, women in the Victorian era, etc. Thomas Aquinas obviously lived in the Middle Ages, so information about his views would best belong there.

Merge Impact of Women in the Early Christian Church

New article Impact of Women in the Early Christian Church could be merged - heavy detail not well integrated, may not justify its own article. -- Aronzak (talk) 15:56, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

• Merge, I'm not sure the article has proven that it can sustain enough notability and well sourced content to warrant its own article. But I still think the content and subject is relevant and encyclopedic. Merging, i think, will certainly be the best option. - RatRat- Talk    17:25, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
