Download or read book Heroines of Christ written by Joseph Husslein and published by Mediatrix Press. This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contribution of women in the history of the Church is often overlooked. In modern times it is customary to look for all the wrong things, who is powerful, who became the first woman to work in this place, or who started a movement. The women who are the subject of this book, however, were greater than any of these mundane accomplishments; they were Heroines of Christ. Married and religious, Roman martyrs and Cristeros, the 15 women whose biographies are found in this book exemplified true heroism: virtue and the love of Christ. In ancient martyrs like St. Agnes or Cecilia, you will discover steadfast fidelity in the face of persecution and demands to worship false gods. In medieval saints such as St. Joan of Arc and St. Catherine of Siena, you will read how the depths of the love of Christ led them to build His kingdom, the Church, in both the temporal and spiritual spheres. In modern saints, you will see how they fought against the forces of unbelief, temporally in Maria de la Luz Camacho, a Cristero, and spiritually with St. Thérèse of Lisieux. The authors of the various biographies have dramatized the historical facts of their lives to present a lively, engrossing account that makes tangible and visible what otherwise would have been abstract and hidden. At the same time, they have made exactness and accuracy the rule, even with the lives of early martyrs where, unlike more recent saints, not all the details can be verified by modern historiography. There, they have received the treasure of the legends and testimonies of the ancient Church. From the lives of these holy women, you too can learn how to become a hero or heroine today!
Download or read book Women in Japanese Religions written by Barbara Ambros and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2015-05-29 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive history of women in Japanese religious traditions Scholars have widely acknowledged the persistent ambivalence with which the Japanese religious traditions treat women. Much existing scholarship depicts Japan’s religious traditions as mere means of oppression. But this view raises a question: How have ambivalent and even misogynistic religious discourses on gender still come to inspire devotion and emulation among women? In Women in Japanese Religions, Barbara R. Ambros examines the roles that women have played in the religions of Japan. An important corrective to more common male-centered narratives of Japanese religious history, this text presents a synthetic long view of Japanese religions from a distinct angle that has typically been discounted in standard survey accounts of Japanese religions. Drawing on a diverse collection of writings by and about women, Ambros argues that ambivalent religious discourses in Japan have not simply subordinated women but also given them religious resources to pursue their own interests and agendas. Comprising nine chapters organized chronologically, the book begins with the archeological evidence of fertility cults and the early shamanic ruler Himiko in prehistoric Japan and ends with an examination of the influence of feminism and demographic changes on religious practices during the “lost decades” of the post-1990 era. By viewing Japanese religious history through the eyes of women, Women in Japanese Religions presents a new narrative that offers strikingly different vistas of Japan’s pluralistic traditions than the received accounts that foreground male religious figures and male-dominated institutions.
