Dr. Keefe writes to a former student after receiving his book, The Feminine Genius of Catholic Theology, which had been dedicated to her. The acknowledgments page explains, "During my Master's studies at Duke Divinity School, Professor Susan Keefe, a person of deep prayer, introduced me to the writings of the women mystical theologians. I gained a real understanding of how Edith Stein could have picked up Teresa of Avila's biography by chance, read it through at a sitting, and shortly thereafter been baptized as a Catholic. The present book is therefore dedicated to Susan Keefe in gratitude and appreciation. Against the trends of the academy, she taught me that 'we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal' (2 Cor 4:18)." Dr. Keefe passed away at the end of the summer.
