Viac o knihe
The book critically examines traditional views of hagiography, particularly the interpretation of ascetic desire as merely a repressed form of sexuality or a negative attitude towards the body. Through a thought-provoking analysis, it aims to redefine the understanding of asceticism, suggesting that these desires hold deeper significance beyond mere pathology. The work is both intellectually stimulating and significant in its challenge to established narratives, making it a vital contribution to theological studies.
