Mystics, visionaries, and prophets
a historical anthology of women's spiritual writings
by Shawn Madigan
- 1 Want to read
Unique in its range and depth, this anthology for the first time captures in a single volume the most notable spiritual writings of illustrious women from all periods of Christian history.
Madigan's generous selections reveal how deeply women's mystical quest for intimacy with God has also entailed personal commitment and prophetic social witness. Ranging from Perpetua in the third century to Mother Teresa and Edwina Gateley in this century, Madigan's volume includes writings from both lesser- and better-known women and, in the modern period, from Asian, American, and African American women.
Informative historical introductions and bibliographies augment writings of these twenty-seven Christian visionaries.
