About this item
Winner of Catholic Press Association Book-of-the-Year AwardSpiritualityUnique in its range and depth, this lavish anthology for the first time captures in a single volume the mostnotable spiritual writings of leading women from all periods of Christian history.
Because spirituality involves more than simply prayer and piety, Madigan has selected women whosequests for intimacy with God also involves some visionary experience or social witness. Ranging fromPerpetua in the third century to Mother Teresa and Edwina Gately in this century, her volume includeswritings from both European women and, in the modern period, Asian, American, and African American women. Apart from redressing the heavy gender imbalance of most histories of Christianity, this volumealso provides strong historical introductions to and bibliographies of the twenty-six women whose writings are generously excerpted.
