Contrary to popular belief, the medieval religious imagination did not restrict itself to masculine images of God but envisaged the divine in multiple forms. In fact, the God of medieval Christendom was the Father of only one Son but many daughters—including Lady Philosophy, Lady Love, Dame Nature, and Eternal Wisdom. God and the Goddesses is a study in medieval imaginative theology, examining the numerous daughters of God who appear in allegorical poems, theological fictions, and the visions of holy women. We have tended to understand these deities as mere personifications and poetic figures, but that, Barbara Newman contends, is a mistake. These goddesses are neither pagan survivals nor versions of the Great Goddess constructed in archetypal psychology, but distinctive creations of the Christian imagination. As emanations of the Divine, mediators between God and the cosmos, embodied universals, and ravishing objects of identification and desire, medieval goddesses transformed and deepened Christendom's concept of God, introducing religious possibilities beyond the ambit of scholastic theology and bringing them to vibrant imaginative life. Building a bridge between secular and religious conceptions of allegorized female power, Newman advances such questions as whether medieval writers believed in their goddesses and, if so, in what manner. She investigates whether the personifications encountered in poetic fictions can be distinguished from those that appear in religious visions and questions how medieval writers reconcile their statements about the multiple daughters of God with orthodox devotion to the Son of God. Furthermore, she examines why forms of feminine God-talk that strike many Christians today as subversive or heretical did not threaten medieval churchmen. Weaving together such disparate texts as the writings of Latin and vernacular poets, medieval schoolmen, liturgists, and male and female mystics and visionaries, God and the Goddesses is a direct challenge to modern theologians to reconsider the role of goddesses in the Christian tradition.

Imagining Mary breaks new ground in the long tradition of Christian mariology. The book is an interdisciplinary investigation of some of the many Marys, East and West, from the New Testament Mary of Nazareth down to Our Lady of the Good Death in the twentieth century. In Imagining Mary, Professor Rancour-Laferriere examines the mother of God in her multireligious and pan-historical context. The book is a scholarly study, but it is written in a clear, straightforward style and will be comprehensible to an educated – and, above all, intellectually curious – general audience. It will appeal to anyone who has ever wondered, for example, about the flimsy scriptural basis of many beliefs about Mary; or the tendency of many mariologists to depict Mary as an incestuous "bride of Christ"; or the theological notion of Mary’s "loving consent" to her son’s crucifixion; or the idea that Mary was a "priest" officiating at the sacrifice of her son; or the unfortunate association of Mary with Christian anti-semitism; or the curious appeal of Mary to the terminally ill; and so on. Special attention is given to the psychology of representations of Mary, such as: the psychological basis for promoting Mary to the status of a "goddess"; the psychology of Mary’s compassion for her son at the foot of the cross; and the psychological conflict in Mary’s personal relationship with her son Jesus. These topics are admittedly diverse, but they all have long been on the minds of mariologists. The author takes a questioning approach to received wisdom about marian themes – including the assumption that one has to be a theist in order to understand the great appeal of Mary down the centuries. Indeed, Imagining Mary may be regarded as a first step in the direction of an atheist mariology.

S'il s'agit d'un constat, a n'en pas douter le manuscrit medieval est au cur de cet ouvrage. La recherche des sources autour d'un commanditaire ou d'un artisan, d'un copiste ou d'un " chasseur " de manuscrits, cette demarche de vouloir identifier l'identifiable devient alors ineluctable. L'auteur nous propose ici ses notes de bibliologie dont une large part tient au domaine breton, reste ouvert aux multiples echanges artistiques. Du seigneur bibliophile au prelat, arguant de sa notoriete, du bourgeois aise, avide de reconnaissance sociale, au " maistre " universitaire, le livre manuscrit est presentement mis en valeur, a l'exemple de ces Heures, ces livres de prieres enlumines si populaires au Moyen Age, objet de pratiques devotionnelles. L'histoire de la societe medievale ne peut s'ecrire sans le livre et l'image. L'image partout presente. L'image language. Au-dela de cette precieuse iconographie, le texte nous devoile parfois les origines d'un manuscrit reste anonyme : une liturgie propre, le culte d'un saint local, aident ainsi a son identification. L'histoire des textes comme l'histoire des images reste inseparable de l'histoire des livres qui les transmettent. Mais derriere le livre se cache aussi l'homme. Destinataire ou collectionneur, copiste ou enlumineur, imprimeur, toutes ces personnalites s'inserent dans un vaste shema ou chacun laisse inevitablement ses empreintes. Dans ces notes de bibliologie, chaque livre prend place en une trame culturelle comme un maillon du savoir. Source d'interrogations multiples, le manuscrit illustre son epoque. Cette compilation demontre a n'en pas douter son importance au sein de la societe medievale, a une epoque ou il atteint la mouvance des litterati laics, et penetre les premieres " librairies ".
