Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Holy Women, Wholly Women, Elaine J. Lawless continues her work with women in American religion, and explores the life experiences of women in parish ministry in several Protestant churches--including the United Methodist, Christian Church-Disciples of Christ, American Baptist, Episcopal, and Unitarian churches. Applying an approach, which she calls reciprocal ethnography, Lawless collects and interprets the stories of ten women ministers and examines their public and private lives, their ministries, their images of God, and their negotiations of sexuality and the religious life. Throughout, she retains much of the dialogue, which developed between herself and the participants; the voices of the women are clearly distinguishable from Lawless's words and from each other's. These women are ordained in different denominations, yet their deep-seated beliefs about spirituality, God, and ministry are surprisingly similar. Denominational affiliations are less critical for them than is the maintenance of a theology of wholeness and well-being for all humans. By employing an ethnographical approach informed by feminist theory, Holy Women, Wholly Women contributes to our understanding of women in the ordained ministry. It will be of compelling interest to students and scholars in folklore, women's studies, and religion.

Book excerpt: From the earliest days of the Church through modern times, women have always played a unique and critical role in the story of Christianity. Jesus Christ called both men and women to be his disciples, and countless women in Church history have stood out for the holiness of their lives and the wealth of their teaching. In each chapter, derived from catechesis given during his weekly general audiences from September 2010 to April 2011, Pope Benedict XVI expertly and thoughtfully explores the life stories and writings of these seventeen holy women: Saint Hildegard of Bingen Saint Clare of Assisi Saint Matilda of Hackeborn Saint Gertrude the Great Blessed Angela of Foligno Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Saint Bridget of Sweden Marguerite d'Oingt Saint Juliana of Cornillon Saint Catherine of Siena Julian of Norwich Saint Veronica Giuliani Saint Catherine of Bologna Saint Catherine of Genoa Saint Joan of Arc Saint Teresa of Ávila Saint Thérèse of Lisieux The remarkable examples of the feminine genius in Holy Women are still relevant today.

Download or read book A Typical Woman written by Abigail Dodds and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Woman Through and Through In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it’s hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called “woman.” This book breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christ—as a woman—looks like. When we see that we are women in all we do, we can be at peace with how God has created us, recognizing womanhood as an essential part of Christ’s mission and work.

Download or read book The Holy Women Around Jesus written by Carol Haenni and published by ARE Press. This book was released on 2006-06 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a little-known fact that as many as seventeen women, closely connected with Jesus, followed him to the cross. Who were they? And who were the other women who assisted in the preparation for the birth of Jesus, his life and the carrying on of his message after his death? This fascinating book by the co-author of Anna, Woman Of Miracles, draws upon two sources: the psychic readings of Edgar Cayce and the profound visions of a German nun, Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824). Cayce's readings of the Akashic record identified many of the holy women around Jesus in the past-life readings giving intimate details of lives long ago not recorded in biblical texts. Emmerich's visions, known to give unique insights into the life of Jesus, provide added clairvoyant insights into the community that supported Jesus and his work. This book is fascinating, fresh insight into the life of Jesus Christ and the important role that women played in his mission.

Download or read book Women Preaching Revolution written by Elaine J. Lawless and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-08-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do women preach differently than men? In Women Preaching Revolution Elaine J. Lawless contends that they do. Drawing on her study of more than 150 sermons and extensive interviews with the clergywomen who preached them, Lawless argues that women have changed traditional preaching in ways that reflect their socialization as women and their experiences of being female in America. Many of the women in her study were expected to take courses on the art of preaching as part of their seminary training. Most of them rejected the sermon structure and strategies they were taught in seminary, viewing them as part of a "male" homiletic tradition, and developed styles that celebrate their commitment to connection, relationship, and dialogue.
Download or read book Sacred Mundane written by Kari Patterson and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the key to changing your life--and yourself--is already in your hand? So many women struggle with what to do with their daily lives. They feel trapped in everyday drudgery and disappointment, in dull domestic duties, and in mundane jobs they despise. Where is the abundant, purposeful life they were promised? Kari Patterson shows readers the truth: in each unremarkable life lies an opportunity to see, know, love, and be utterly transformed by a God who meets everyone right where they are. Instead of stepping away from real life to find God, Patterson equips women with a six-step practice to move further in and meet Him in the humdrum moments of everyday existence. And when a woman's inner being is truly changed by the sacred, everything in her world changes too--right down to tackling the dirty dishes. Through entertaining narrative, candid real-life stories, Bible study, and practical instruction, Sacred Mundane guides individuals or small groups to discover the beautiful sacredness in the lives they already lead. Women who long to grow in God and make a real difference in the world--no matter how small--will reach eagerly for this book and the radical transformation it offers. "Our daily routine, with its mundane tasks and mindless repetition, is ultimately an offering of worship to God. What a great truth from a great God!" --Ann Byle, author of The Making of a Christian Bestseller and coauthor of Devotions for the Soul Surfer
Download or read book Holy Women Holy Men written by Church Publishing, and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 798 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully revised and expanded, this new work is the first major revision of the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church in more than 40 years! It is the official revision of Lesser Feasts and Fasts and authorized by the 2009 General Convention. All commemorations in Lesser Feasts and Fasts have been retained, and many new ones added. Three scripture readings (instead of current two) are provided for all minor holy days. Additional new material includes a votive mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary, many more ecumenical commemorations, plus a proper for space exploration. For years the oft revised volume, Lesser Feasts and Fasts (LFF), has served parishes and individuals mark part of the holiness of each day by providing Scripture readings, a collect, a Eucharistic preface, and a narrative about those remembered on the church's calendar that day whose lives have witnessed to the grace of God. Holy Women, Holy Men (HWHM) is a major effort to revise, but also to expand and enrich LFF. Where LFF provided two readings (gospel and other New Testament) plus a psalm, HWHM adds an Old Testament citation. Where LFF was limited to few non-Anglicans in the post-reformation period (and few non-Episcopalians after 1789), HWHM dramatically broadens appreciation for other Christians and their traditions. Over-emphasis on clergy is redressed by additional laity, males by females, and "in-church" activities by contributions well beyond the workings of institutional agendas. These almost daily commemorations occupy over 600 of the book's 785 pages, by far the lion's share of its content. Remaining sections address: principles of revision and guides for future revision; liturgical propers for seasons (Advent/Christmas, Lent, and Easter); and new propers for a miscellany of propers usable with individuals (or events) not officially listed in the formal calendar. Two cycles of propers for daily Eucharist are also included, one covering a six week period, the other a two year cycle.
