Begotten, Not Made Conceiving manhood in late antiquity

Burrus, Virginia

Begotten, Not Made Conceiving manhood in late antiquity Virginia Burrus - U.S.A. Stanford University Press 2000 - 240tr. Paperback, illustrations 24 cm

This book interprets fourth-century theological discourse as an incident in the history of masculine gender, arguing that Nicene trinitarian doctrine is a crucial site not only for theological innovation but also for reimagining and reproducing manhood in the late Roman period... The book centers on performative readings of major works by three prominent fourth-century Fathers--Athanasius of Alexandria, Gregory of Nyssa, and Ambrose of Milan.... The concluding chapter considers the sum of these three figures from an explicitly feminist theological and theoretical perspective.
