Christian History Magazine—Issue 30: Women in the Medieval Church

During the age of Christendom, lay women found one primary outlet through which they could express their spiritual yearnings: monasticism.

Read about Julian’s visions, Catherine’s social service, Joan’s bravery, and much more in this enlightening and inspiring issue of Christian History & Biography.
