medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear listmembers, Further to our discussion of images of Christ as warrior, I have just come across a nice article which deals with this theme in the context of the Gospel of Nicodemus text and early Irish poetry. The details are given below: Lisa Lawrence, 'The Harrowing of Hell in the poems of Blathmac and the Gospel of Nicodemus: dependence or convergence?', in PROCEEDINGS OF THE HARVARD CELTIC COLLOQUIUM xv (1995), pp 117-25. It's not a bad place to start if you require a general introduction to the military metaphors surrounding Christ's death and descent to Hell, tracing, as it does, their appearance in the works of various Fathers of the Church. Best wishes, Salvador Ryan ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
