Description and Table of Contents

Description

Not confined to a history of exegesis, this book is a study of Renaissance culture - a culture whose central text was the Bible. It explores, among other topics, the links between late medieval Christology and early modern subjectivity; religious eroticism and the origins of the sexualized body; the transformation of humanist philology into comparative religion; and the representation of daughter-sacrifice and female erotic desire.
