Home›Clergy, Theologians & Religious Officials›Gender›MaleBrowse ByMaleThis page groups historical religious figures by gender, letting a visitor separate, for example, the women prophets and mystics a tradition recorded from the men. Wikipedia defines gender as "the range of social, psychological, cultural, and behavioral aspects of being a man (or boy), woman (or girl), or portraying a third gender." Many traditions recorded far fewer women in positions of religious authority, so this grouping also shows that imbalance directly.FactsMaleConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1MaleFilter Results49 entriesTraditionAllChristianity (29)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (49)Revered InAllChristianity (21)Manner Of DeathAllAssassinated (2)Died by accident or misadventure (1)Died of natural causes (3)Executed (1)Martyred (1)Office HeldAllAbbot of Fulda, and from 847 archbishop of Mainz (1)Archbishop over Pannonia and Moravia, consecrated at Rome (1)Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine from about 313 (1)Bishop of Carthage from about 249 until his execution (1)Bishop of Carthage in the Donatist line, 313 to 347 (1)Bishop of Poitiers at the end of his life (1)Bishop of Remesiana, in what is now southern Serbia (1)Bishop of Tours from 573 until his death in 594 (1)Prebendary, Canterbury Cathedral (1)NationalityAllAncient Egypt (Historical) (1)Ancient Greece (Historical) (1)Byzantine Empire (Historical) (2)Canada (1)France (1)Germany (4)Ireland (1)Italy (4)Kingdom of Prussia (Historical) (1)Korea (South) (1)Nigeria (1)Roman Empire (Historical) (6)Russia (1)Sasanian Empire (Historical) (1)Switzerland (2)United Kingdom (5)United States (14)Veneration StatusAllFormally Canonized or Sainted (1)BrowseCompareSelect all 49Absalom JonesMaleAlbrecht RitschlMaleAndrei RublevMaleAndrew Kim TaegonMaleAriusMaleCharles CoughlinMaleClarence JordanMaleCyprian of CarthageMaleCyril of ThessalonicaMaleDaniel Alexander PayneMaleDonatus MagnusMaleEdward HicksMaleElias HicksMaleEmil BrunnerMaleEusebius of CaesareaMaleFrederick William FranzMaleFriedrich SchleiermacherMaleFulton J.
