The latest issue of Christian History Magazine is available now. I wanted to bring it to your attention due to its look at women who played a role in well, Christian history.<\/p>\n

\"\"This issue, #131, titled: Women of the Reformation: Lesser-known stories, features women who are not as well known, including a printer, Margarethe Pr\u00c3\u00bcss; preachers, Katherine Sch\u00c3\u00bctz Zell and Marie Denti\u00c3\u00a8re; pamphlet writer, Argula von Grumbach; mystic, Ursula Jost and others, alongside Katie Luther, who pioneered the brand new role\/profession of pastor’s wife and Anna Bullinger, whose husband Heinrich’s courtship letters formed the basis of the only lengthy excerpt from a male theologian in this issue.<\/p>\n

Prominent queens of the sixteenth century are included in the issue, such as Marguerite de Navarre and Jeanne d’Albret of France and all the six wives of England’s Henry VIII, the three Catherines, two Annes, one Jane and his two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth. <\/p>\n
