Louis Bouyer Orden de los libros

Focusing on the lives and writings of five women mystics, the great theologian and spiritual writer Louis Bouyer shows that, far from relegating women to some inferior position, Christianity has often been shaped and steered by women. The Church passed beyond the collapse of medieval Scholasticism and the errors of the Renaissance largely due to a succession of exceptional feminine personalities. Bouyer studies five female figures whose influence catalyzed an interior renaissance within Catholicism--the kind the Church needs as much today as it did in times past. Between Hadewijch of Antwerp, Teresa of Avila, Thérèse of Lisieux, Elizabeth of the Trinity, and Edith Stein, there is a striking continuity, yet each is unique--and deeply creative--in her spiritual mission, and each has given to Christians a vivid glimpse into the reality of the living God

Through a blend of humility and humor, Louis Bouyer's memoirs provide an insightful chronicle of his life and the significant events that impacted the Church and the world during a transformative era. His reflections offer a deep exploration of Christianity's challenges in a modern context, showcasing his commitment to uncovering the Church's sources and Tradition across doctrine, spirituality, liturgy, and scripture. Bouyer’s sharp observations reveal both the struggles and the spiritual journey of a devoted man navigating a rapidly changing landscape.
