11.1. Elijah’s Silent Annunciation (1 Kings 19.8-15)

Mary Stevens was a cloistered, contemplative Carmelite nun for thirty-three years, before gaining an MLitt and PhD in Theology at the University of St Andrews. Her doctoral research considered the theology of consecrated life presented by Pope John Paul II's apostolic exhortation Redemptionis Donum, with particular reference to his theological anthropology, soteriology and sanjuanist spirituality.
