Are you longing for a deeper spiritual path? Looking for a framework for understanding mystical experiences of women? Or just wanting to learn a little of the history and theology of mystical faith? This two-week course on Women Mystics in the Christian Tradition should help you with all of that.
We’ll start by looking at the definition, scriptural foundation, and history of mysticism through the lens of women mystics in various eras, then we’ll explore several women mystics and their writings more deeply. Finally, we’ll discuss how (or if) the faith of these women can inform our spiritual lives today.
In addition to Blackboard interactions, 1 optional Zoom meeting may be held on Friday at 6:00 pm Eastern time. The meeting will not be recorded.
