Description
"Naked Before God introduced a refreshing sense of possibilities that are offered by focusing on the multivalence of the body. This is a timely, lively and eclectic collection; the essays complement each other and offer a good variety of perspectives. This is an attractive volume by virtue of the range of--and emphasis on--illustration, and because it provides the reader with some real and provocative choices of interpretations of key texts and images of the period." Clare Lees, King's College, University of London
