| Summary: | By situating herself in the historical dialogue about Christianity, women, and sexuality, the author examines what many may consider an oxymoron-spiritual eroticism. The essay provides a definition of spiritual eroticism, one which takes it beyond intense sexual encounters but instead grounds the idea in the story of Oshun, the African deity of beauty, sensuality, and fertility. Spiritual eroticism is explored in Tina McElroy Ansa's The Hand I Fan With. |
