Home›Historians, Ethnographers & Scholars of Religion›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 Results50 entriesTraditionAllAncient Greek Religion (1)Christianity (12)Islam (1)Judaism (1)Roman Religion (1)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (46)EraAll-484 to -425 (1)1066 to 1081 (1)110 to 180 (1)1179 to 1241 (1)1499 to 1590 (1)1524 to 1579 (1)1529 to 1585 (1)1535 to 1616 (1)1539 to 1616 (1)1573 to 1647 (1)1578 to 1650 (1)1579 to 1660 (1)1602 to 1680 (1)1790 to 1832 (1)1802 to 1884 (1)1811 to 1882 (1)1822 to 1855 (1)1823 to 1900 (1)1825 to 1910 (1)1832 to 1918 (1)1842 to 1910 (1)1851 to 1930 (1)1854 to 1941 (1)1858 to 1918 (1)1865 to 1936 (2)1869 to 1937 (1)1877 to 1947 (1)1887 to 1939 (1)1888 to 1938 (1)1895 to 1985 (1)1897 to 1982 (1)1898 to 1956 (1)1898 to 1986 (1)1904 to 1987 (1)1907 to 1986 (1)1907 to 1998 (1)1908 to 1984 (1)1909 to 2005 (1)1919 to 2016 (1)1920 to 2017 (1)1926 to 2014 (1)1927 to 1984 (1)1931 to 2015 (1)37 to 100 (1)56 to 120 (1)973 to 1050 (1)Revered InAllChristianity (12)Hinduism (1)Islam (4)Judaism (1)Manner Of DeathAllAssassinated (1)Died of natural causes (8)Disputed (1)Executed (1)Test ResultAllDebunked (1)Office HeldAllConsul in 97 and proconsul of Asia about 112 (1)Lawspeaker of the Althing (1215 to 1218 and 1222 to 1231) (1)NationalityAllAncient Greece (Historical) (2)China (1)Egypt (2)Finland (1)France (2)Germany (3)Iceland (1)India (1)Israel (1)Italy (1)Mexico (1)Peru (2)Roman Empire (Historical) (1)Romania (1)Russia (4)Russian Empire (Historical) (1)Soviet Union (Historical) (1)Spain (5)Switzerland (3)United Kingdom (6)United States (7)Uzbekistan (1)Veneration StatusAllHistorically Significant but Not Venerated (16)Officially Recognized or Venerated (10)BrowseCompareSelect all 50Adam of BremenMaleAdolf von HarnackMaleAl-BiruniMaleAnanda CoomaraswamyMaleAndre PadouxMaleAndrew Dickson WhiteMaleAthanasius KircherMaleBernardino de SahagúnMaleCarlo GinzburgMaleCristóbal de MolinaMaleDiego de LandaMaleDomingo ChimalpahinMaleDorzhi BanzarovMaleElias LonnrotMaleFelipe Guamán Poma de AyalaMaleFernando de Alva IxtlilxóchitlMaleFlavius JosephusMaleFrancisco de ÁvilaMaleFriedrich Max MullerMaleFrithjof SchuonMaleGavriil KsenofontovMaleGershom ScholemMaleHerodotusMaleHo Peng YokeMaleHuston SmithMaleInca Garcilaso de la VegaMaleJames George FrazerMaleJean-Francois ChampollionMaleJohn William DraperMaleJoseph CampbellMaleLawrence PrincipeMaleMarcel GriauleMaleMartin LingsMaleMatvei KhangalovMaleMircea EliadeMalePausaniasMaleR.
