Holy Women ReviewIn "Holy Women," Our Sunday Visitor continues publishing books containing the weekly addresses of Benedict XVI. Even the Holy Father's sharpest critics concede that Benedict is a leading theologian and historian--and this work, which focuses on some leading female saints, mystics and intellectuals mostly from the Middle Ages, clearly reinforces this. Benedict offers some interesting thoughts on some well known women (St. Joan of Arc and St. Teresa of Avila for example) but where he really shines is focusing on the less known figures. For example, the Holy Father offers an excellent introduction to the likes of St. Hildegard of Bingen and St. Veronica Giuliani. Reading this work, I was struck by how Benedict was able to offer quick sketches of the lives of these women but also offer a distinct synopsis of why they were important to the growth of Christianity and what modern readers can take from them (for example, Catherine of Genoa and purgatory; St. Gertrude the Great and justice). While the book certainly has an appeal to Catholics, any reader looking to understand the growth and shaping of Christianity would find the work very useful.
