Cover of A. Astell & Bonnie Wheeler: Joan of Arc and Spirituality (PDF)

Joan of Arc is an unusual saint. Canonized in 1920 as a virgin, she died in 1431 as a condemned heretic. Uneducated, militant, and youthful, she obeyed ‘Voices’ that counselled her to pursue an unprecedented vocation. The various trial records provide a wealth of evidence about how Joan and others understood her spiritual life. This collection explores multiple facets of Joan’s prayerful life. Two-thirds of the essays focus on Joan in her own time; the later chapters study Joan’s formative influence upon modern women. Taken together, these essays offer new perspectives on the heroism of Joan’s original way of sanctity.
