Abstract
La aportación de las mujeres al cristianismo a lo largo de los siglos constituye el eje de este libro. Protagonistas frecuentemente olvidadas de la historia, en ellas fluye la vida del Espíritu a través del testimonio y la sabiduría, la espiritualidad y el pensamiento, el trabajo teológico y la presencia en el mundo. El lector irá descubriendo las múltiples facetas de esta aportación a través de figuras femeninas muy diversas, personalidades singulares o grupos de mujeres de diferentes épocas y extracción social, con una extraordinaria variedad de dones, cualidades, vocaciones, misiones, experiencias y actividades. Once calas en la historia, desde el cristianismo primitivo hasta el actual, permiten apreciar esta riqueza y superar visiones parciales y/o ideologizadas que con frecuencia dominan estos campos temáticos; por el contrario, la voluntad de realizar un acercamiento imparcial con pluralidad de perspectivas, de recuperar registros olvidados y de descubrir significaciones insospechadas para nuestro presente, ha guiado a los autores de estas páginas.
Nueve de los once estudios que aquí se ofrecen constituyeron en su día conferencias impartidas en el II Seminario ?Textos para un Milenio?, celebrado en Madrid los días 30 de noviembre y 1-2 de diciembre de 2011 bajo este mismo título: Las mujeres en el cristianismo. Dichos seminarios, surgidos a partir de la colección ?Textos para un Milenio? (dedicada a la edición de obras vinculadas a la historia y la espiritualidad del Carmelo), ofrecen la oportunidad de plantear cuestiones que trascienden la tradición carmelitana y resultan significativas para la cultura y la vida actual, enfocadas de modo interdisciplinar desde la historia, la teología, la literatura, el arte..., con aportaciones de expertos entre los que se cuenta con una significativa presencia de investigadores y profesores de la Universidad Pontificia Comillas de Madrid.
