  • Marrying Jesus: Brides and the Bridegroom in Medieval Women's
    MARRYING JESUS: BRIDES AND THE BRIDEGROOM IN MEDIEVAL WOMEN’S RELIGIOUS LITERATURE Rabia Gregory A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies (Medieval and Early Modern Christianity). Chapel Hill 2007 Approved By: E. Jane Burns Peter Iver Kaufman Lance Lazar Albert Rabil Jr. Dan Thornton © 2007 Rabia Gregory ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Rabia Gregory Marrying Jesus: Brides and the Bridegroom in Medieval Women’s Religious Literature Under the direction of Peter Iver Kaufman Phrases such as “bride of Christ” and passages which describe Christ as a “Bridegroom,” a “Spouse,” and a “Lover” appear in a wide range of Christian texts composed in both Latin and vernacular languages. The phrase has become almost a generic descriptor for religious women— especially mystics—yet the function of the relationship between Christ and his beloved is never a constant. I explore the language and imagery that surrounds Christ’s many brides by examining a selection of medieval works that portray Christ as a desirable spouse for Christian women. Relationships between Christ and pious women did not consist exclusively of a spiritual re-enactment of courtship and marriage in vision or ritual. Mystics enacted marriage to Jesus in visions, while nuns’ vows and profession ceremonies are described as a marriage to Christ, a chaste union to be consummated in heaven, traditionally modeled upon secular marriage ceremonies. However, the title “Bride of Christ” was not uniformly applied by and to medieval women, and some nuns and mystics never gained a bridal association.
