More about the book
The book explores the rich tapestry of medieval religious imagination, highlighting how divine femininity coexists with traditional masculine images of God. It delves into the roles of various goddesses such as Lady Philosophy and Dame Nature, presenting them not merely as poetic figures but as significant creations within Christian theology. Barbara Newman argues that these goddesses serve as mediators between the divine and the world, enriching the understanding of God and expanding the boundaries of medieval spirituality beyond conventional scholastic thought.
