Jesus is the first man who shows no animosity toward the feminine; this constitutes a historical event" (Hanna Wolff). Jesus came to lead a revolution, to change the parameters and concepts that existed in His time regarding traditions and religion.

Christ spoke with women when no one else did; He ...

“Jesús es el primer hombre que no manifiesta ninguna animosidad frente a lo femenino; esto constituye un acontecimiento histórico” (Hanna Wolff). Jesús vino a realizar una revolución, a cambiar los parámetros y conceptos que existían en su tiempo respecto a las tradiciones y la religión.
