Soul As Virgin Wife

Explore the depths of Christian mysticism in "Soul As Virgin Wife" by Amy Hollywood, published by the University of Notre Dame Press in 2000. This compelling paperback study spans 277 pages and intricately examines the writings of three prominent mystical theologians: Mechthild of Magdeburg, Marguerite Porete, and Meister Eckhart.

Hollywood skillfully analyzes these figures by reading their works "with and against" each other, offering fresh perspectives that recontextualize their contributions to theology. Grounded in feminist theory and deeply informed by late medieval religious culture, this book invites readers to engage with the complexities of spirituality, gender, and history.

Whether you are a scholar of Christian theology or simply curious about the intersection of mysticism and women’s studies, "Soul As Virgin Wife" promises to be an enlightening addition to your collection.
