Edith Stein: Selected Writings With Comments, Reminiscences and Translations of her Prayers and Poems by her niece Susanne M. Batzdorff |
|
Edith Stein, born into a Jewish family in 1891, won renown as a philosophy scholar in pre-World War II Germany. In 1922 she startled her friends and associates by becoming a Roman Catholic, and shortly thereafter, entering the Carmelite order to live in a cloister as a professed sister. In 1942 she was taken from her convent by the Nazis and was murdered at Auschwitz. This selection from her writings, her poems and prayers has been made and translated by her niece, Susanne M. Batzdorff. It also includes a brief biography and seventeen photographs from the family's collection. ISBN 0-87243-189-4 $9.95 |

Song in a Strange Land by Rosemary Haughton |
|
|
In 1981 Rosemary Haughton and six companions bought Wellspring House in Gloucester, Massachusetts (one of the oldest houses in America, having been built in 1649) and established it as a refuge and place of healing for homeless families, almost all of them single mothers. This is the story of that adventure as well as being a theology of the radical dispossession of women in our society. ISBN 0-87243-188-6 $14.95 |

The Re-Creation of Eve by Rosemary Haughton |
|
|
A compelling and creative study of women in the early church based on the evidence so often overlooked in the New Testament. The book focuses the reader to re-examine the potential position of women in today's church as well. As one Canadian reviewer puts it, "The experience is analagous to being present at an archeological excavation and listening to an expert identify and point out the significance of shards and other fragments that the uninitiated would probably overlook." . . . "A fine, unpolemical synthesis of the best current biblical scholarship, written in her succinct, graceful way." Commonweal ISBN 0-87243-135-5 $8.95 |

Unveiled: Nuns Talking edited by Mary Loudon |
|
|
In this unusual collection of fascinating autobiographies, Mary Loudon gives nuns from varying backgrounds, orders and beliefs a chance to speak openly and uninhibitedly about themselves and their lives. Her questions are sharp, sympathetic and challenging - those of an outsider who has managed to achieve unique access to a world about which we know little - and the stories of these ten women are moving, bizarre and sometimes shocking. "Enthralling,thought-provoking and immensely readable . . . A refreshing introduction for people who may never have met a nun and a revelation to those who thought that women became nuns because they could not face the world." The Tablet (London) ISBN 0-87243-201-7 $14.95 |
