Opis

This study traces the birth and evolution of religious stigmata and particularly of stigmatic theology, as understood through the ensemble of theological discussions and devotional practices.

Recenzje

Overall, this is an excellent study that deals with so many essential religious, sacramental, sociological, political, and gender issues ... Muessig should be congratulated because of her abundant use of so many primary sources in dealing with the issue of the stigmata ... It is very difficult to capture in a book review the richness of this most valuable piece of scholarship!
