Women Mystics: Female Theologians through Christian History
Women Mystics: Female Theologians through Christian History
13 January - 19 May 2025
7:30pm - 9:00pm
While male voices have dominated our understanding of Christian theology and history, significant work over the last fifty years has sought out and made available the voices of powerful and important female theologians through the history of Christianity. First and foremost, these voices belong to female mystics.
This online evening series, run jointly by Sarum College and The Church Times, looks at five of the most important female mystics from Christianity in chronological order. Each session runs 7.30-9 PM on a Monday and is led by an expert on the mystic in question. Each webinar will consist of a lecture and a Q&A session.
The sessions are as follows:
13 January: Hildegard of Bingen, with Lauren Cole
10 February: Clare of Assisi, with Michael Hahn
10 March: Julian of Norwich, with Hannah Lucas
14 April: Teresa of Avila, with Gillian Ahlgren
19 May: Thea Bowman with Manuel Williams
Each session will be recorded and a link to the video provided to everyone registered.
The series of five sessions is £80, and can be purchased at this link.
