Virginia Burrus
Explores one of the strongest and disturbing aspects of the Christian tradition, its excessive preoccupation with shame. This book explores a range of fascinating phenomena, from the flamboyant performances of martyrs to the imagined abjection of Christ, from the self-humiliating disciplines of ascetics to the intimate disclosures of Augustine.
