Description: St. Teresa’s thoughts on encountering and living with God are much shaped by her position as an outsider to the hierarchical world of her day-a woman, and someone from a Jewish background. With rich references to Teresa's use of Scripture, this lecture reflects on the contemplative as the outsider, and what she brings to prayer and theology.
