Reclaiming Thecla is an introduction to the second-century Christian work the Acts of Thecla, which is embedded in the apocryphal Acts of Paul. This short book guides readers through the cultural and theological settings out of which the text arose. The authors explain debates about the text, provide their own views, and argue that this story can still teach us today by helping us engage in conversations about Christian identity, love, gender constructions, and female discipleship.
