Mystical Women, Mystical Body

products/6130 Deacon Owen Cummings examines the eucharistic spirituality of 10 women mystics, among them Hildegard of Bingen, Teresa of Avila and Edith Stein. The author takes a serious look at both the womens mysticism and their eucharistic reflections.

Personal and social experiences like church reform, physical healing and empowerment shaped the lives and theologies of these remarkable women. Though this book is about women, it is not only for women, and its a valuable addition to historical studies on eucharistic theology.
