Wolfteich presents a series of case studies in Christian spirituality, bringing mothers’ autobiographical writing into focus for theological reflection. From the medieval mystic Margery Kempe to the twentieth-century activist Dorothy Day, from African American preacher Jarena Lee to labor organizer Dolores Huerta, the book mines women’s first-person writing, surfacing critical issues for theological analysis. Listening deeply to these diverse maternal voices, the book advances creative theological reflection on work, vocation, time poverty, Sabbath, and spiritual guidance. Mothering, Public Leadership, and Women’s Life Writing demonstrates the significance of the study of mothering for theology and spirituality studies and the import of life writing as an underutilized source for practical theology.Theology in practice ;Volume 3.Christian womenReligious lifeChristian literatureHistory and criticismChristian literatureWomen authorsAutobiographyWomen in ChristianityHistoryChristian womenReligious life.Christian literatureHistory and criticism.Christian literatureWomen authors.Autobiography.Women in ChristianityHistory.248.8431Wolfteich Claire E.1115480MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910659313303321Mothering, public leadership, and women's life writing2642443UNINA
