Magistra

Subscribe to Magistra| Contents of previous and current issues of Magistra

For ten years, the journal VOX BENEDICTINA brought its readers quality scholarship in the history of feminine spirituality. Former associate editor, Judith Sutera, OSB, has continued the tradition under the new title MAGISTRA. For eleven years, this daughter publication has continued to provide a vehicle for the study of the spirituality of women in all time periods and all religious traditions.

There is still a role and audience for a journal that increases awareness of the contributions made by women in the history of spirituality. There is much yet to be explored in those areas of spirituality considered "feminine" in its broadest sense, whether taught and practiced by women or men. There is a growing appreciation of the role of these spiritual writings in the fields of history, literature, women's studies and other areas of the arts and humanities.

Readers will find:

  • a journal format of approximately 200 pages, published semi-annually.
  • high quality scholarship in a professionally managed publication, yet with the ease of reading and spiritual approach which provide wide-ranging appeal to a variety of readers.
  • works by academics, artists and contemporary religious on spirituality of any time period and all faith traditions.
  • something for the mind and something for the spirit.

Magistra welcomes both new subscribers and new material for publication. In addition to original articles, translations of texts by or about women and their spirituality, from any period of history and any faith tradition, will be considered by our editorial readers.

Those submitting translations are responsible for copyright permission from the source and should provide biographical information about the works author. Manuscripts should not ordinarily exceed thirty double-spaced pages. Copies of new books in relevant areas are also welcomed for review.
