A Journal of Women’s Spirituality in History

History

After the groundbreaking journal Vox Benedictina ceased publication in 1995, former associate editor, Judith Sutera OSB, continued the tradition under the title Magistra. This daughter publication continues to provide a vehicle for the study of the spirituality of women in all time periods and all religious traditions. There is much yet to be explored in those areas of spirituality considered “feminine” in its broadest sense, whether taught and practiced by women or men. There has also been a growing appreciation of the role of these spiritual writings in the fields of history, literature, women’s studies and other areas of the arts and humanities. Readers will find:

  • a refereed journal published semi-annually,

  • high quality scholarship, yet with the ease of reading and spiritual approach which provide wide-ranging appeal to a variety of readers,

  • works on spirituality of any time period and all faith traditions,

  • something for the mind and something for the spirit.
