Samenvatting

Exploration of how medieval people professed Christianity, how they performed gender and how the two coincided. The authors argue that many of the daily religious decisions people made were influenced by gender and that medieval Europeans chose how to be women or men, just as they decided whether and how to be religious.

Samenvatting

This study in medieval imaginative theology examines the numerous daughters of God who appear in allegorical poems, theological fictions, and the visions of holy women. Newman advances questions as whether medieval writers believed in their goddesses and, if so, in what manner. She investigates whether the personifications encountered in poetic fictions can be distinguished from those that appear in religious visions and questions how medieval writers reconcile their statements about the multiple daughters of God with orthodox devotion to the Son of God. She examines why forms of feminine God-talk that strike many Christians today as subversive or heretical did not threaten medieval churchmen.

Samenvatting

Description of structures and relations that medieval authors and record keepers did not address directly, either in order to minimize them or because they were so common as not to be worth mentioning. The author pays particular attention to the ways women and men experienced forms of opposite-sex union differently and to the implications for power relations between the genders. She describes legal and theological discussions that applied to all of Europe, and case studies of how unions operated in specific circumstances.
