Andrea Janelle Dickens

The Female Mystic

Great Women Thinkers of the Middle Ages

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Middle Ages saw a flourishing of mysticism that was astonishing for its richness and distinctiveness. This book examines a number of women whose lives exemplify traditions which were central to medieval theology but whose contributions have tended to be dismissed as 'merely spiritual' by the scholars.
