Flesh Made Word: Medieval Women Mystics, Writing and the Incarnation

Author: Emily A Holmes (St John's 1996)
Publisher: Baylor University Press
Emily A Holmes displays how medieval feminist theologians undermined traditional theology through the incarnational practice of theological writing. Holmes draws inspiration for feminist theology from the writings of these medieval women mystics as well as French feminist philosophers of l'ecriture feminine. The female body is then prioritised in feminist Christology, rather than circumvented. This is a fresh, inclusive theology of the incarnation.
