What is included with this book?
Elisabeth Behr-Sigel(1907-2005), a convert to Orthodoxy in her early twenties and a central figureof Orthodox theology among Russian émigrés in Paris, first began to reflect onthe question of women in the priesthood in 1976. Initially supporting thegeneral consensus that priesthood would be impossible for the Orthodox, shecame to retract this view, finding a basis for female ordination in women'sdistinct spiritual charisms. Behr-Sigel later shifted the foundation of hercase to personhood, inspired by the work of fellow Orthodox theologian VladimirLossky, and arrived at the conclusion that all the Orthodox arguments against the ordination of women were, infact, heretical at root.
In this volume, Wilson analyzesall of Behr-Sigel's writings about women and the priesthood across the wholesweep of her career, demonstrating the development of her thought on women overthe last thirty years of her life. She evaluates her relationship to feminism,Protestantism and movements within Orthodoxy, finally drawing conclusions aboutthis much-contested matter for the ongoing debate in both the East and theWest.
