{"product_id":"ellen-m-ross-the-grief-of-god-9780195104516","title":"The Grief of God","description":"Between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries images of a wounded and bloody Christ proliferated in England, appearing in sermons, drama, church decorations, and spiritual treatises. Some scholars see these graphic portrayals of suffering as signs of a new emphasis on Jesus's humanity, while others see renewed emphasis on a terrifying God of vengeance. Ross, however, argues that these explanations have misunderstood the nature of medieval attitudes toward the suffering Christ. Analysing a wide range of textual and pictorial evidence, she finds that in their encounters with the wounded Jesus - the Saviour whose blood nurtures, feeds, and heals human persons - medieval believers found the God of mercy and love.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53647461646678,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780195104516_1_2a16e559-e3fd-48c3-93df-84e84c41dced.jpg?v=1781734353","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/ellen-m-ross-the-grief-of-god-9780195104516","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
