Dr. Sara Parks found gender parallels in the parables in Q that show Jesus's deliberate valuing of women for God's kingdom ('basileia'). For example, a man who lost a sheep rejoices when it is found; a woman who lost a coin rejoices when it is found. The basileia is within – for both women and men. But Parks explains that Jesus's egalitarian values did not automatically lead to a dismantling of patriarchal norms of the day.
