Nuns' Priests' Tales

Men and Salvation in Medieval Women's Monastic Life

by Fiona J. Griffiths

Nuns' Priests Tales explores the spiritual ideas that motivated priestly service to nuns across Europe and throughout the medieval period, revealing the central role that women played in male spiritual life, and thus moving beyond the reductionist assumption that celibacy defined male spirituality in the age of reform.
