Zusatztext [Levering] knows his sources really well, and shows real skill in laying out their ideas... he has produced a book on the 'feminine genius' of Catholic women, and it is nice to have their contribution to theology acknowledged so generously. Informationen zum Autor Matthew Levering is James N. and Mary D. Perry Jr. Chair of Theology at Mundelein Seminary, USA. Klappentext This book introduces Catholic doctrine through the crucible of the women mystics' reception of the gospel.The work of the great women theologians of the Church's second millennium has too often been neglected (or relegated to the category of 'mysticism') in textbooks on Catholic doctrine.This is a shame, because their work shows the interior conjunction of liturgical experience (broadly understood), scriptural exegesis, philosophical reflection, and doctrinal/creedal formulation.Drawing on their work, this book presents the tenets of Catholic faith in a clear and accessible manner, useful for introductory courses as well as for students and scholars interested in the contributions of women to Catholic theology. Women theologians in this book include Catherine of Siena, Theresa of Avila, Therese of Lisieux, Simone Weil and others.
