The Sex Lives Of Saints: An Erotics Of Ancient Hagiography – By Virginia Burrus [Review Of The Book The Sex Lives Of Saints: An Erotics Of Ancient Hagiography By V. Burrus], Rubén R. Dupertuis

Religion Faculty Research

In the difficult yet rewarding book Burrus offers “countererotic” readings of fourth- and fifth-century CE hagiographies in which she challenges understandings that take ascetic lives of saints as sublimating sexual desire; rather, Burrus reads these texts as the site of an “exuberant eroticism” that constantly relocates and displaces erotic desire. After an introductory chapter, Burrus first focuses on Jerome’s “queer” Lives of Paul, Malchus, and Hilarion. A second chapter treats the eroticized lives of three women: Jerome’s friend Paula, Gregory of Nyssa’s sister Macrina, and Augustine’s mother, Monica. A third chapter focuses on several treatments of Martin of Tours in …

Nasrallah argues that taxonomies of forms of …
