Was Junia known among the apostles? Is this a mistranslation?

My heart swells every time I hear about the powerful role of female followers of Jesus in the early church. It was completely revolutionary and you can imagine just how much these women must have influenced people who saw them teach. Christianity must have seemed incredibly unusual: it follows a crucified rabbi elevated to the status of God. The man was seen alive after the crucifixion. His followers are in large part women and the culturally marginalized. They heal sickness spontaneously using the name of this man-god.

Very important insights. I have only recently concluded that patriarchy never was God's plan, but merely an ancient accommodation (as with husband-initiated divorce) for a hard-hearted people.

Yeah, it strikes me as astonishing that now that I have learned a little perspective, women in early Christianity were respected. Now, I don't know how I missed the obvious.

Being Known To or Among the Apostles is different from being known as an Apostle.
