Ruling the Spirit
In Ruling the Spirit, Claire Taylor Jones revises the narrative of women's involvement in the German Dominican order, arguing that Dominican women did not lose their piety and literacy in the fifteenth century as is commonly believed, but instead were encouraged to reframe their practice around the observance of the Divine Office.
Things and Thingness in European Literature and Visual Art, 700–1600
The eleven chapters in this international volume draw on a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to focus our attention on medieval and early modern things (ca. 700–1600). The range of things includes actual objects (the Altenburg Crucifixion, a copy of Hieronymus Brunschwig’s Liber de arte distillandi, a pilgrim’s letter), imagined objects (a prayed cloak for the Virgin Mary), and narrative objects in texts (the Alliterative Morte Arthure, the Ordene de Chevalerie, Hartmann von Aue’s Erec, Heinrich of Neustadt’s Apollonius of Tyre, Luís de Camões’s Os Lusíadas, and the vita of Saint Guthlac). Each in its own way, the papers consider how things do what they do i...
A Legacy of Preaching: Two-Volume Set---Apostles to the Present Day
A Legacy of Preaching, Two-Volume Set--Apostles to the Present Day explores the history and development of preaching through a biographical and theological examination of its most important preachers. Instead of teaching the history of preaching from the perspective of movements and eras, each contributor tells the story of a particular preacher in history, allowing these preachers from the past to come alive and instruct us through their lives, theologies, and methods of preaching. Each chapter introduces readers to a key figure in the history of preaching, followed by an analysis of the theological views that shaped their preaching, their methodology of sermon preparation and delivery, and...

The Present Word. Culture, Society and the Site of Literature
"This book addresses three key areas of intellectual enquiry: literary criticism, cultural critique, and philosophical theology. Once closely related, especially in the Catholic tradition, they often appear to be separate and unconnected domains in the modern university. The work of Nicholas Boyle is one of the most significant recent attempts to reconnect them. Responding to that initiative, The Present Word challenges this fragmentation of knowledge. Several of the essays reflect a major change of emphasis in literary studies over the last two decades: the reconnection of an idea of literary criticism closely related to the experience of reading, and the wider societal and political concerns addressed by Cultural Studies. Contributors also debate, from both perspectives, whether theological concepts can illuminate the secular culture in which literature is written and read. John Walker is Senior Lecturer in German at Birkbeck College, London, where he served as Head of the School of Languages, Linguistics and Culture from 2006-2009."
From the Material to the Mystical in Late Medieval Piety
Examining correlations between the material and the mystical, this books investigates collective writing and devotional culture in late medieval piety.
Muße in mystischer Literatur
Back cover: Meister Eckhart betont in seinen Predigten und Traktaten die Gelassenheit als einen radikal freien Lebensvollzug in geistiger Tätigkeit. Anna Keiling vollzieht diese Konzeption anhand des Leitparadigmas der Muße nach. So können Darstellungen der Abgeschiedenheit, Gelassenheit, ledecheit und ruowe in mystischer Literatur in ihrem spezifischen Zusammenhang gesehen werden.
Weltmodell Mystik: Eine raumsemantische Analyse ausgewählter Predigten Meister Eckharts und Johannes Taulers
Die vorliegende Studie rekonstruiert das Weltmodell der Deutschen Mystik auf der Grundlage der Lotmanschen Raumsemantik. Der Mensch steht im Spannungsfeld verschiedener semantischer Räume, die sich anhand spezifischer Merkmale voneinander abgrenzen. Ausgehend vom Faktum, dass dieser sich in scheinbarer Selbstverständlichkeit an den Raum des Irdischen gebunden fühlt, richten die Autoren der Mystik ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf die Frage ob und in welcher Weise der Mensch in der Lage ist seine Raumbindung zu relativieren oder gar zu lösen, um die Grenze hin zum Raum des Göttlichen zu überschreiten. Diese raumsemantische Analyse ausgewählter Predigten Meister Eckharts und Johannes Taulers untersucht demnach, welche Ordnungen in den Texten existieren und zeigt auf, wie Konflikte zwischen den Ordnungen sprachlich dargestellt und letztlich überwunden werden können. Von entscheidender Bedeutung ist hierbei die Darstellung des Undarstellbaren als Grenzüberschreitung.
Bibliographie

Spielarten des Gottes-Genusses
In women's mystic texts of the late Middle Ages, forms of pleasure were devised and tested that by far eclipse much of what appears to be extreme and daring today. Pain and pleasure were blended into each other without diminishing the tension of both extremes. By ingenious use of semantics, Andrea Zech's study demonstrates impressively how recipients can follow and comprehend the pleasure of God imaginatively and performatively. In a language of its own, pleasure is thus portrayed like a postmodern performance without denying its otherness.
