Sensing the Sacred in Medieval and Early Modern Culture

'... this volume is an excellent and original collection which offers a new and fresh approach to medieval and early modern sensory and religious history. One of its many strengths is that it presents new arguments against the progressive disembodiment of religious belief in highlighting the role the senses played in religious belief and experience. Additionally, it provides fresh methodology to tackle the problems embedded in Sensing the Sacred'- Emotions: History, Culture, Society 3 (2019).

'[The book's] clear focus on what it means to sense the sacred lends a tight coherence to the volume and makes an important intervention into the complex interdisciplinary space of how the senses functioned historically within religious experience: exploring "convergences between theories about the spiritual and physical senses...the formation of confessional identities, the construction of sacred space, and the nature of virtue"' - Renaissance Studies Volume 34, Issue 3
