Women's Spirituality: Resources for Christian Development
Joann W. Conn
Synopsis "Women's Spirituality: Resources for Christian Development"
Women's Spirituality is an enlarged and revised edition of the widely used anthology that looks at the spiritual and psychological dimensions of women's lives. Using classical and contemporary texts, the present volume illuminates the way feminist issues find grounding in great spiritual teachers such as Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Ignatius Loyola, and Jane de Chantal. Four sections develop the central theme. The first considers contemporary issues: women in ministry, different forms of feminist spirituality, and sexism in the church. The second provides contemporary resources for psychological development. The third gives examples of spiritual development in the biblical, Ignatian, Carmelite, and Salesian traditions. The final section considers new visions of women's spirituality in the present day. Contributors to this volume include Anne Carr, Joann Wolski Conn, Kathleen Fischer, Constance FitzGerald, James Fowler, Carol Gilligan, Rosemary Haughton, Elizabeth A. Johnson, Robert Kegan, John McDargh, Jean Baker Miller, Sandra M. Schneiders, Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza, Mary Jo Weaver, Rowan Williams, and Wendy M. Wright. Joann Wolski Conn, the editor, is Professor of Christian Spirituality in the graduate program in pastoral counseling and spiritual direction at Neumann College, Aston, Pennsylvania. She is the author of Spirituality and Personal Maturity and has written articles on the integration of spiritual and psychological development.
