The first casebook in English on the phenomenon that sent Europe walking in the Middle Ages on the arduous road to Santiago de Compostela, the legendary burial place of St James. Among other themes the book examines the huge literature base on the pilgrimage, the music it inspired and how the World Wide Web can now give us the virtual reality of the pilgrimage in words, sounds and images.
Nine new studies address the phenomenon of the medieval pilgrimage
to Santiago de Compostela, the legendary burying place of St.
James.
In Pure, Linda Kay Klein uses a potent combination of journalism,
cultural commentary, and memoir to take us "inside religious purity
culture as only one who grew up in it can" (Gloria Steinem) and
reveals the devastating effects evangelical Christianity's views on
female sexuality has had on a generation of young women. In the
1990s, a "purity industry" emerged out of the white evangelical
Christian culture. Purity rings, purity pledges, and purity balls
came with a dangerous message: girls are potential sexual
"stumbling blocks" for boys and men, and any expression of a girl's
sexuality could reflect the corruption of her character. This
message traumatized many girls-resulting in anxiety, fear, and
experiences that mimicked the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder-and trapped them in a cycle of shame. This is the sex
education Linda Kay Klein grew up with. Fearing being marked a
Jezebel, Klein broke up with her high school boyfriend because she
thought God told her to and took pregnancy tests despite being a
virgin, terrified that any sexual activity would be punished with
an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. When the youth pastor of her church
was convicted of sexual enticement of a twelve-year-old girl, Klein
began to question purity-based sexual ethics. She contacted young
women she knew, asking if they were coping with the same
shame-induced issues she was. These intimate conversations
developed into a twelve-year quest that took her across the country
and into the lives of women raised in similar religious
communities-a journey that facilitated her own healing and led her
to churches that are seeking a new way to reconcile sexuality and
spirituality. Pure is "a revelation... Part memoir and part
journalism, Pure is a horrendous, granular, relentless, emotionally
true account" (The Cut) of society's larger subjugation of women
and the role the purity industry played in maintaining it. Offering
a prevailing message of resounding hope and encouragement, "Pure
emboldens us to escape toxic misogyny and experience a fresh breath
of freedom" (Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Love Warrior and founder of Together Rising).
