Antiphon of Athens, born in 480 BCE, spent his prime in the great period of Athens but, disliking democracy, was himself an ardent oligarch who with others set up a violent short-lived oligarchy in 411. The restored democracy executed him for treason. He had been a writer of speeches for other people involved in litigation. Of the fifteen surviving works three concern real murder cases. The others are exercises in speech-craft consisting of three tetralogies, each tetralogy comprising four skeleton speeches: accuser's; defendant's; accuser's reply; defendant's counter-reply. Andocides of Athens, born ca. 440 BCE, disliked the extremes of both democracy and oligarchy. Involved in religious scandal in 415 BCE, he went into exile. After at least two efforts to return, he did so under the amnesty of 403. In 399 he was acquitted on a charge of profaning the Mysteries and in 391-390 took part in an abortive peace embassy to Sparta. Extant speeches are: 'On His Return' (a plea on his second attempt); 'On the Mysteries' (a selfdefence); 'On the Peace with Sparta'. The speech 'Against Alcibiades' (the notorious politician) is suspect.

These reflections unravel the stories of women who accompanied Jesus during his last days and were there as he endured his agony and death on the cross. What are their stories? Some are well known, like Mary Magdalene and Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Each reflection is well-researched, yet easily readable and thought-provoking. They show how much we know about these women and what they have to share. Each chapter ends with engaging questions that will help the reader be open to experience the healing, the mercy, and the compassion of Christ that comes only from the knowledge of the risen Jesus and the joy of Easter.

"Beaucoup ignorent que, pendant un millénaire, l'Église catholique a reconnu des femmes diacres en son sein. Si le Nouveau Testament recèle peu de traces de leur présence, les témoignages par la suite abondent. Le lecteur trouvera ici un accès solide à leur histoire à travers des portraits de femmes très contrastés. L'auteur tente d'élucider les raisons de la disparition des femmes diacres. Tout un faisceau de décisions convergentes, caractéristiques de la Réforme grégorienne (XIe siècle), doivent être bien comprises pour évaluer les chances d'une restauration du diaconat féminin par l'Église d'aujourd'hui."
