Silent voices, sacred lives

About this book

Silent Voices, Sacred Lives was a labor of love for the editors of this book who combed the scriptures, intertestamental literature, noncanonical Christian sources, church orders, mystical works, poetry, Gnostic writings, diaries, accounts of martyrdom, epitaphs, and even descriptions of women at worship, for the silent voices of women. Together, all of these accounts give us an image of God, women, church, spirituality, and ministry from a woman's perspective that can enrich our liturgical year.
