Women and Faith
This study of Italian women and Catholicism from the fourth through the twentieth century reflects this conflict and the tension between the masculine character of divinity in the Catholic church and the potential for equality in the gospels and early writings ("neither male nor female, but one in Jesus")."--BOOK JACKET.
Let's Have Another
Dan Coughlin serves up another round of great stories . . . Meet the nutty sports team owner who nearly killed his franchise with terrible trades (and some spectators with an ill-advised publicity stunt) . . . The adventurous Browns lineman who flew a bombing run in Korea (though he wasn’t a pilot!) and survived a gunshot wound—from his wife . . . The Indians slugger with the worst attitude in baseball—he didn’t just menace pitchers; he menaced everyone . . . The brilliant and relentless tennis promoter who stole the Davis Cup . . . And many others—including Victor, the wrestling bear! In this third lively collection, Dan Coughlin tells yet more true tales about the most colorful characters he’s known in four decades covering sports for Cleveland TV and newspapers. Turn to any page and you’ll probably learn something new—and get a laugh out of it, too.

Women, Art and Architectural Patronage in Renaissance Mantua
Analyzing the artistic patronage of famous and lesser known women of Renaissance Mantua, and introducing new patronage paradigms that existed among those women, this study sheds new light the social, cultural and religious impact of the cult of female mystics of that city in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century. Author Sally Hickson combines primary archival research, contextual analysis of the climate of female mysticism, and a re-examination of a number of visual objects (particularly altarpieces devoted to local beatae, saints and female founders of religious orders) to delineate ties between women both outside and inside the convent walls. The study contests the accepted percep...
Jesus, Lazarus, and the Messiah
This remarkable short guide to meditation is the fruit of many years of meditative experience as well as thirty years of teaching meditation. Through exercises and meditation sentences it delineates an accessible, systematic process of inner work by which a person can come to experience both the "I," or Self, and the miraculous nature of that Light that, as inner Light, we call attention. Beginning with simple meditation sentences that illuminate the role of attention in perception, the person wishing to take this path is led gradually to the reality and experience of form-free attention. Kühlewind offers-step-by step guidance in concentration exercises, sentence meditations, visualizations (image or symbol meditations), and perceptual meditations for guidance on the path. He also offers advice and help with the difficulties and problems that can arise. Each stage of the path--in itself and in relation to the whole sequence--is presented in a way to be understood through meditative thinking. Deepened in this way, it becomes, as well, a work of philosophy--but philosophy understood as a transformative way of life, an inner path

The Legacy of Birgitta of Sweden
Saint Birgitta of Sweden (d. 1373), one of the most famous visionary women of the late Middle Ages, lived in Rome for the last 23 years of her life. Much of her extensive literary work was penned there. Her Celestial Revelations circulated widely from the late 14th century to the 17th century, copied in Italian scriptoria, translated into vernacular, and printed in several Latin and Italian editions. In the same centuries, an extraordinary number of women writers across the peninsula were publishing their work. What echoes might we find of the foreign widow’s prophetic voice in their texts? This volume offers innovative investigations, written by an interdisciplinary group of experts, of the profound impact of Birgitta of Sweden in Renaissance Italy. Contributors include: Brian Richardson, Jane Tylus, Isabella Gagliardi, Clara Stella, Marco Faini, Jessica Goethals, Anna Wainwright, Eleonora Cappuccilli, Eleonora Carinci, Virginia Cox, Unn Falkeid, and Silvia Nocentini.
Dominican Women and Renaissance Art
Starting from an inventory and other documents, Ann Roberts has identified some 30 works of art that originated from the convent of San Domenico of Pisa. She here examines those objects commissioned for and made by the nuns during the fifteenth century; some of the objects included have never before been published. One of her goals in this study is to bring into the discussion of Renaissance art a body of images that have been previously overlooked, because they come from a non-Florentine context and because they do not fit modern notions of the "development" of Renaissance style. She also analyzes the function of the images - social as well as religious - within the context of a female Domi...
