I think it would be good to have a list of the books she has written. That’s always essential in an academic’s article. Thriley (talk) 04:25, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
in progress. Long enough and well referenced. I hacked at the lede as it included stuff not in the body, feel free to improve. I think Alt2 hints at a more punchy hook concerning first women to ensure the correct interpretation of the bible... or something around .."until 2014 the bible's Catholic interpretation was directed by blokes" etc. ~~Is it clear whether she thinks faith healing should be encouraged or banned?~~ However I'm more than willing to approve the offered hooks.

- Thriley, I have added her books to the article. @Victuallers: thanks for reviewing. You left this as "in progress," but did you mean to give this a green light? Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 18:42, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What I said... I think you are missing out on a more punchy hook as the three offered are not so interesting IMO, but I can only encourage you. Approved as is. Victuallers (talk) 21:40, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
