God empowers believing women through the gift of His own Spirit, that we may witness and minister in His name in the world. Some very exciting Empowered Women experienced God's power and served Him in the days of the Early Church, and their stories inspire us today. As God empowered these women and others in First Century churches, He can do the same for women today. Through fiction vignettes and Bible studies, Janet Burton will open your eyes to the women of the book of Acts as you have never seen or known them before.

Empowered Women: Stories and Studies of Women in the Early Church

Tate Publishing & Enterprises

There has long been a tendency among monastic historians to ignore or marginalize female participation in monastic life, but recent scholarship has begun to redress the balance, and the great contributions made by women to the religious life of the Middle Ages are now attracting increasing attention. This interdisciplinary volume draws together scholars from Spain, Italy, France, the Low Countries, Germany, Transylvania, Scandinavia, and the British Isles, and offers new insights into the history, art history, and material culture, and the religiosity and culture of medieval religious women.
The different chapters within this book take a comparative approach to the emergence and spread of female monastic communities across different geographical, political, and economic settings, comparing and contrasting houses that ranged from rich, powerful royal abbeys to small, subsistence priories on the margins of society, and exploring the artistic achievements, the interaction with neighbours and secular and ecclesiastical authorities, and the spiritual lives that were led by their inhabitants. The contributors to this volume address issues as diverse as patronage and relationships with the outside world, organizational structures, the nature of Cistercian observance and identity among female houses, and the role of male authority, and in doing so, they seek to shed light on the divergences and commonalities upon which the female religious life was based.
