Most books about the saints are thin on women, especially contemporary women. Even Butler's LIVES OF THE SAINTS, the 'bible' of this category, lists far more men than women.

Of the more than 377 women mentioned in the book, 159 have...

"The story of the two sons in Luke 15:11-32 is extremely clever both at its surface level and through the way it echoes all the major stories of Genesis.
