Summary
The veil was not the only thing that Christ's arrival on earth tore asunder. Social and religious barriers, serving to draw lines between specific people groups for thousands of years before his arrival, were suddenly in light of his great commission transformed. Never would a tax collector, a zealot, and a traditional Jew share a meal together in peace-- but following just a short time in Jesus presence, these barriers crumbled. The influence that Christ had on the men in his day has been celebrated for two thousand years. The overlooked question within mainstream Christianity remains to be: What influence did he have upon women, and what statements did his words and actions make in relation to gender equality? Is it possible that while Jesus Christ himself recognized appropriate gender roles, he also intentionally began the first women's empowerment movement?
