Home›Poets & Writers›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 Results25 entriesTraditionAllAncient Greek Religion (2)Christianity (6)Islam (1)New Thought (1)Roman Religion (2)Shinto (1)EraAll-43 to 17 (1)-70 to -19 (1)-750 to -650 (1)-750 to -700 (1)1048 to 1131 (1)1265 to 1321 (1)1548 to 1606 (1)1608 to 1674 (1)1757 to 1827 (1)1804 to 1864 (1)1817 to 1862 (1)1821 to 1881 (1)1850 to 1904 (1)1856 to 1950 (1)1860 to 1911 (1)1915 to 2005 (1)845 to 903 (1)940 to 1025 (1)Place of ActivityAllBoston (1)Cambridge (1)Haarlem (1)Ibadan (1)Indiana (1)Ios (1)Italy (2)Japan (1)Khorasan (1)London (3)New Hampshire (1)New York City (1)Oxford (2)Romania (1)Rome (1)Saint Petersburg (1)Salisbury (1)Samarkand (1)Tokyo (1)Turkey (1)United States (1)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (24)Historicity debated (1)Veneration StatusAllHistorically Significant but Not Venerated (9)Officially Recognized or Venerated (4)Popularly or Locally Venerated (1)Manner Of DeathAllDied by accident or misadventure (1)Died of natural causes (11)Disputed (2)NationalityAllAncient Greece (2)Armenia (1)County of Flanders (1)Greece (1)Iran (1)Ireland (2)Italy (1)Japan (2)Kingdom of Great Britain (1)Nigeria (1)Roman Empire (2)Russian Empire (1)The Kingdom of England (1)United Kingdom (3)United States (5)Revered InAllChristianity (5)Islam (1)Shinto (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 25Arthur MillerMaleC.
