Certain passages in Aphrahat's Demonstrations exhibit misogynist language, since women are portrayed as instruments of Satan and are blamed for the evil state of the world. A consideration of other aspects of Aphrahat's thought allows for a more nuanced view of Aphrahat's attitudes toward women. These other aspects include: i) the role of Mary in salvation history; ii) the eschatological context of Aphrahat's asceticism; iii) the fact that men are demonized more than women in the Demonstrations; iv) the fact that Aphrahat makes unambiguously positive statements about women.
