Reviews
'Drawing upon a voluminous reading in secondary literature and a broad knowledge of rare books and manuscripts from many premodern European regions, Gregory's study challenges the often anachronistically sexualized notions of contemporary feminist scholarship concerning the bride of Christ and the bridegroom. Her work instead examines the trope of marrying Jesus in fresh ways, pointing up the complexity and fecundity of interpretations this fundamental theme generated in late medieval religion.' Philip M. Soergel, University of Maryland, College Park, USA
