Reviews
Naked Before God introduced a refreshing sense of possibilities that are offered by focusing on the multivalence of the body. This is a timely, lively and eclectic collection; the essays complement each other and offer a good variety of perspectives. This is an attractive volume by virtue of the range of and emphasis on illustration, and because it provides the reader with some real and provocative choices of interpretations of key texts and images of the period.
