The Widows: A Women's Ministry in the Early Church (1989) is a book by Bonnie Bowman Thurston.

Abstract

"This book begins by giving a sense of the socioeconomic position of widows in the biblical world. It examines the primary New Testament texts on widows, paying special attention to 1 Tim. 5:3-16. Next it discusses the references to the widows' order in the Apostolic Fathers, Tertullian of Carthage, and the Didascalia Apostolorum, in each case beginning by setting the stage against the larger backdrop of church history. In short, The Widows - A Women's Ministry in the Early Church examines the position of Christian widows from the time of Jesus to A. D. 325.--Publisher description.
