Catherine of Siena: Vision Through a Distant Eye (Michael Glazier Books)

Catherine of Siena was a driving force in both the mystical and political life of the Church, a remarkable achievement for a woman in the 14th century. Respect for her has only grown, and she is now one of only two women to hold the Doctor of the Church. Church and society were at critical turning points in the late-14th century. Her vision for the Church is still clear, six centuries later. This book offers perspectives on that vision.
