 | | Julian of Norwich & the Mystical Body Politic of Christ
by Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt
Published by Univ of Notre Dame Press, 2008
"Bauerschmidt provides a close and historically sensitive reading of Julian's Revelation of Love that addresses the relationship between our understanding of God and our vision of human community. By locating Julian's images of Christ's body within the context of late medieval debates over the nature and extent of divine power, Bauerschmidt argues that Julian presents an alternative account of divine power in which the crucified body of Christ becomes the locus and shape of divine omnipotence."

The Poetics of Enclosure
