    Book Cover Julian of Norwich & the Mystical Body Politic of Christ
    by Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt
    Published by Univ of Notre Dame Press, 2008

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 Publisher
