CANADIAN METHODIST WOMEN, 1766–1925 MARYS, MARTHAS, MOTHERS IN ISRAEL Studies in Women and Religion / Études sur les femmes et la religion Studies in Women and Religion is a series designed to serve the needs of established scholars in this new area, whose scholarship may not conform to the parameters of more traditional series with respect to content, perspective , and/or methodology. The series will also endeavour to promote scholarship on women and religion by assisting new scholars in developing publishable manuscripts. Studies published in this series will reflect the wide range of disciplines in which the subject of women and religion is currently being studied, as well as the diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches that characterize contemporary women’s studies. Books in English are published by Wilfrid Laurier University Press. Inquiries should be directed to the series coordinator Eleanor J. Stebner (Faculty of Theology, University of Winnipeg, Winnipeg).
