"What kinds of vulnerabilities, transformations, pains, and pleasures does one face in a divine marriage in its fullness?" (p.58)

Ch 3 Christ as Lover:
-seeing Christ through language of embodied intimacy an antidote to coercion/depersonalization.
-Gregory the Great: “...we are provoked to reflect on the mercy of God...for he goes so far as to use the language of our shameful loves I order to set our heart on fire with a holy love." (p 48)
-medieval mindset, Christ is lover of the soul (not a bride/church metaphor)
