This review is from: Hadewijch and Her Sisters: Other Ways of Loving and Knowing (S U N Y Series, the Body in Culture, History, and Religion) (Suny Series, Body in Culture, History, & Religion) (Paperback)

This book is scholarship at its best. He examines this little know tradition in Christian history with insight and in a way that makes it a resource for current cultural struggles and questions. This is not just a book for academics but good reading for anyone who is concerned with human loving and knowing. This book helped me to clarify and challenge some of the assumptions of traditional theology particularly as formulated by Aquinas.
