"The Hidden Tradition: Women's Spiritual Writings Rediscovered" is a powerful anthology that brings to light the overlooked voices of Christian women mystics, theologians, and visionaries throughout the centuries. Edited by Richard Valantasis, this collection uncovers the rich spiritual heritage of women whose insights were often suppressed or ignored by the mainstream Church.
Featuring writings from Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Ávila, and lesser-known yet equally profound figures, the book spans early Christianity to modern times, highlighting women's contributions to theology, mysticism, and the inner life. Each text is introduced with historical context and spiritual commentary, making it an ideal guide for those interested in feminist theology, Christian spirituality, and rediscovering women's voices in faith traditions.
