- Title
THREE CHRISTIAN WOMEN OF THE ARAB ORIENT: RAFQA, MARIAM, HINDIYYA.
- Authors
Makhlouf, Avril M.
- Abstract
The focus of this paper is Eastern Catholic mysticism as articulated by three Catholic women in the modern Middle East, each positioned at the axial point of a theological and cultural interchange between the Latin Catholic West and the Syriac Catholic East, especially as expressed by the Maronite Church tradition. Their lives span 1720-1914, a period which saw tumultuous change in the Middle East, and the emergence of a distinctive Middle Eastern Catholic ecclesial and religious culture. Rafqa, Mariam and Hindiyya contribute uniquely to understanding Eastern Catholic thought and theology and to the development of a wider canon for the study of Christian spirituality in the modern world.
