Jairus's Daughter and the Female Body in Mark challenges modern assumptions that children were disposable and of little interest in the ancient world. Through an analysis of first-century artifacts depicting female children and of the story of Jairus's daughter in Mark 5, Janine E. Luttick reveals how ancient hearers of this story understood the story of the daughter as one of hope and continuity for the newly-formed early Christian 'family' faced with suffering and loss.
