Veiling in the Late Antique World

Drake, Susanna (Macalaster College )

Description

Early Christian intellectuals used everyday practices of veiling to interpret sacred texts. These writers understood the divine as veiled, and the notion of a veiled spiritual truth informed their interpretation of the bible. This book explores the relation between the social history of the veil and the intellectual history of the concept of truth.
