Richard Kieckhefer, "The Mystical Presence of Christ: The Exceptional and the Ordinary in Late Medieval Religion "
English | ISBN: 1501765116 | 2022 | 382 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The Mystical Presence of Christ investigates the connections between exceptional experiences of Christ's presence and ordinary devotion to Christ in the late medieval West. Unsettling the notion that experiences of seeing Christ's figure or hearing Christ speak are simply exceptional events that happen at singular moments, Richard Kieckhefer reveals the entanglements between these experiences and those that occur through the imagery, language, and rituals of ordinary, everyday devotional culture.
