essays presented in this volume address the question posed about the role of women throughout the history of the Church: which female figures had the opportunity, and under what circumstances, to express themselves and act freely, thereby exerting their influence in the family, social, spiritual, political, or cultural spheres, but above all, in the ecclesiastical realm. It explores the resources available for their education and training aimed at developing the functions to which they had access. The result is a broad historiographical panorama, characterized by a unique profile, due both to its extensive range - covering almost two thousand years of Church history - and to its openness to less-explored geopolitical contexts. Stimulating reflections on lesser-known figures and events that challenge established historiographical paradigms are not lacking. One of the most important aspects of the volume is its interdisciplinary nature; within the book, we find research conducted by specialists from various fields: history, biography, archaeology, patristics, and archival studies. A strong aspect of the book lies in the authors’ efforts to measure the gap between an often negative and limiting paradigm of women’s roles and their actual condition in a world that, in any case, was imbued with Christian values.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Between Freedom and Submission: The Role of Women in the History of the Church","attachmentId":113234390,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/117341291/Between_Freedom_and_Submission_The_Role_of_Women_in_the_History_of_the_Church","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/117341291/Between_Freedom_and_Submission_The_Role_of_Women_in_the_History_of_the_Church"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="2" data-entity-id="79093175" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/79093175/CATHERINE_OF_SIENAS_ADVICE_TO_RELIGIOUS_WOMEN_CONSEJOS_DE_CATALINA_DE_SIENA_A_LAS_MUJERES_RELIGIOSAS">CATHERINE OF SIENA'S ADVICE TO RELIGIOUS WOMEN / CONSEJOS DE CATALINA DE SIENA A LAS MUJERES RELIGIOSAS</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="3726329" href="https://tulane.academia.edu/TomLuongo">F.

But the dissonance in the idea of Catherine as a model for cloistered religious women is heightened by false assumptions or oversimplifications of Catherine’s religious status, and of what it meant for Catherine to be a model for this or that form of religious life. This essay surveys Catherine’s letters to religious women, including letters to penitents or mantellate and letters to abbesses and nuns in monasteries. While Catherine’s letters to penitents and other women living in the world focus on the challenges of living without a formal religious rule, her letters to nuns focus on the importance of their maintaining claustration, following their rule, and on the dangers of wealth—a recognition of the generally higher social and economic standing of monastic women. Catherine seems also to identify certain kinds of prayer with monastic life. It is important to remember that Catherine herself founded a monastery, and while it remains unclear what precisely her intentions were for this community, it is another sign of Catherine’s interest in and commitment to cloistered religiosity. The essay concludes by arguing for a more nuanced understanding of what it might have meant for Catherine to be a model for specific forms of religious life.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"CATHERINE OF SIENA'S ADVICE TO RELIGIOUS WOMEN / CONSEJOS DE CATALINA DE SIENA A LAS MUJERES RELIGIOSAS","attachmentId":85930787,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/79093175/CATHERINE_OF_SIENAS_ADVICE_TO_RELIGIOUS_WOMEN_CONSEJOS_DE_CATALINA_DE_SIENA_A_LAS_MUJERES_RELIGIOSAS","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/79093175/CATHERINE_OF_SIENAS_ADVICE_TO_RELIGIOUS_WOMEN_CONSEJOS_DE_CATALINA_DE_SIENA_A_LAS_MUJERES_RELIGIOSAS"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="3" data-entity-id="7793289" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/7793289/A_cursory_overview_of_the_portrayals_of_women_by_the_early_Church_Fathers_in_the_Medieval_Reformation_period_and_in_the_Ecumenical_movement">A cursory overview of the portrayals of women by the early Church Fathers, in the Medieval, Reformation period and in the Ecumenical movement.</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="2149446" href="https://mitheology.academia.edu/BeechyThang">Beechy Thang</a></div><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"A cursory overview of the portrayals of women by the early Church Fathers, in the Medieval, Reformation period and in the Ecumenical movement.","attachmentId":34301447,"attachmentType":"docx","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/7793289/A_cursory_overview_of_the_portrayals_of_women_by_the_early_Church_Fathers_in_the_Medieval_Reformation_period_and_in_the_Ecumenical_movement","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/7793289/A_cursory_overview_of_the_portrayals_of_women_by_the_early_Church_Fathers_in_the_Medieval_Reformation_period_and_in_the_Ecumenical_movement"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="4" data-entity-id="41037572" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/41037572/An_Investigation_of_the_Active_versus_Contemplative_Life_of_Women_in_the_Medieval_Church_Affiliated_with_Rome_between_the_Twelfth_and_Fifteenth_Century">An Investigation of the Active versus Contemplative Life of Women in the Medieval Church Affiliated with Rome between the Twelfth and Fifteenth Century</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="45378194" href="https://independent.academia.edu/NathanaelODer">Nathanael O'Der</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">An Investigation of the Active versus Contemplative Life of Women in the Medieval Church Affiliated with Rome between the Twelfth and Fifteenth Century, 2016</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">The theological paradigm of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42) posits two distinct roles for women. In the Roman Catholic Church in the High and Late Middle Ages, women were offered two roles that correspond to Luke’s story. Mary, according to Jesus, having chosen the “better” path, is the woman who exemplified discipleship through the consecrated life, while Martha is the medieval housewife. In the medieval church, the role of “Mary,” which was a life of virginal devotion to God, was presented to women as the better path, but women were often forced by family and church into the role of “Martha,” a life of chaste devotion to God through marriage and family life. Augustine’s influential theology ascribed greater value to the contemplative life, while Meister Eckhart gives greater value to the active life in his sermon on Mary and Martha. Which is the better path? Or is this a false choice? While this is a question that is relevant in any age, this thesis will demonstrate how the story of Mary and Martha as presented by both Augustine and Eckhart is a false dichotomy using examples from Eckhart’s time to show that women both in the consecrated life and the married life exemplify aspects of both contemplative and active lives. This paper will give a brief overview of Augustine’s exegesis as well as Meister Eckhart’s contrasting sermons on Luke 10. Next, I will discuss the role of women in marriage and family life and some of the struggles and decisions they went through which may have been a cause for their conversion from a “Martha” life of domesticity to a “Mary” role enabling them to take on the devotion of Jesus, which would eventually lead some women to sainthood. Then, I will discuss women’s role in religious life and how they moved from a “Mary” to a “Martha” role to effect change within the church in spite of great adversity from their male counterparts. Lastly, I will conclude that the paradigm of Mary and Martha in the Middle Ages is relevant to post-modern women who have multiple options and maintain a role of discipleship and contemplation in what is very much a “Martha” world.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"An Investigation of the Active versus Contemplative Life of Women in the Medieval Church Affiliated with Rome between the Twelfth and Fifteenth Century","attachmentId":61313220,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/41037572/An_Investigation_of_the_Active_versus_Contemplative_Life_of_Women_in_the_Medieval_Church_Affiliated_with_Rome_between_the_Twelfth_and_Fifteenth_Century","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/41037572/An_Investigation_of_the_Active_versus_Contemplative_Life_of_Women_in_the_Medieval_Church_Affiliated_with_Rome_between_the_Twelfth_and_Fifteenth_Century"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="5" data-entity-id="6770959" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/6770959/_Italian_Holy_Women_against_Bohemian_Heretics_Catherine_of_Siena_and_the_Second_Catherines_in_the_Kingdom_of_Bohemia_in_Catherine_of_Siena_The_Creation_of_a_Cult_ed_Jeffrey_Hamburger_and_Gabriela_Signori_Medieval_Women_Texts_and_Contexts_vol_13_Turnhout_Brepols_2013_pp_315_338">“Italian Holy Women against Bohemian Heretics: Catherine of Siena and ‘the Second Catherines’ in the Kingdom of Bohemia,” in Catherine of Siena: The Creation of a Cult, ed.

The first one is primarily associated with the theological issues that Anthony of Padova (1195-1231) dealt with. We pointed out the main characteristic of his preaching, which was nothing other than the position of mulier (woman) in the teachings of Anthony of Padua. In the second thematic pivot, we studied the stages of spirituality according to his teachings. In the third chapter, we translated and grouped together the excerpts of Sermones that are associated with women. Besides, one of his favourite topics had to do with him admonishing people in order to cultivate virtues that oppose the dangers of passion. Finally, in the fourth thematic chapter we presented teachings as viewed by the medieval tradition. The Middle Ages is a historical period full of conflict and tension. During this period, social transformation gradually “gave birth” to the anarchists of religious life. In Anthony of Padova’ s preaching, the people are embodying the Sequela Christi (following Christ) and striving to live their lives with the gospel morality which was inspired by the Order of Friars Minor movement founded by Francis of Assisi. As a monk with a university education - an oxymoron for the fraternity - he wrote the Sermones to capture the roadmaps of the Christian life that illuminate the historical time period. His education bears the stamp of the Bible and the earlier Latin Patrology Doctrine. This is made clear in the symbolic way that women are included in his work which became either an example to be followed or to be avoided. In some parts of his writings, women are identified with passionate situations and elsewhere praised for their virtues. The relevant teaching of Anthony, in regards to women, is a key conduit for the exercise of his pastoral care. Anthony does not invent a system or a solid pattern. Instead, he adapts to his audience and draws his instructions using images and symbolism that people can comprehend. In conclusion, we could mention that, if there is one woman that stands out in his work, that would be the Virgin Mary. The four sermons which he composed for Her feast, are adorned with a multitude of metaphors and images and are an anthem for her mission, her decency and her virtues.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Religious notions about women during Medieval Times: The position of woman in Anthony of Padua's teaching","attachmentId":70236629,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/53351279/Religious_notions_about_women_during_Medieval_Times_The_position_of_woman_in_Anthony_of_Paduas_teaching","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/53351279/Religious_notions_about_women_during_Medieval_Times_The_position_of_woman_in_Anthony_of_Paduas_teaching"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="7" data-entity-id="8857352" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/8857352/OBJECTIVE_An_understanding_in_historical_terms_of_the_tension_between_the_significant_religious_opportunities_available_to_women_in_the_Christian_tradition_and_the_subordination_of_women_in_Christian_institutions_An_understanding_of_the_history_of_women_in_the_Christian_tradition_will_contribu_">OBJECTIVE: An understanding in historical terms of the tension between the significant religious opportunities available to women in the Christian tradition, and the subordination of women in Christian institutions.
