14 Reading Gregory on Sex, Gender, and Embodiment
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter presents some reflections on feminist readings of Gregory. There is a move away from what one might call relatively straightforward or surface readings of Gregory — ones which, for example, take it for granted that Gregory's only motivation in On Virginity is to advocate the celibate monastic life, or assume that the state of the first creation was a historical one, temporally prior to a second creation in which men and women were endowed with sexual characteristics. Patristic scholars have undermined such readings as these and their findings have found their way into wider feminist comment on Gregory.
