Who was Junia? Very little is known about her other than her Latin name, that she was an apostle.For many centuries, Junia was thought to have actually been a man by the name of Junias. Eldon Epp shows how this error came about and how she recovered her true gender and that she was in Rome when St. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans. She is listed with others in Romans 16:7, by a man named Andronicus, who with her are called apostles by St. Paul.

Epp has written a concise book, it does however cover the topic very well. He provides the overwhelming evidence in a convincing if quite academic way. He refers to several bible scholars of various denominations, presenting all the technical scholarly materials to prove that Junia was a woman and that she was declared an apostle by St. Paul.

The book features detailed endnotes and large bibliography.
