- Description
- Asserts that the Nun's Priest "necessarily represents and embodies patriarchal Christianity" and, using Catherine Belsey's notion of an "interrogative text" (1980), argues that narrative and formal "inconsistencies" and "contradiction" in NPT cause "us to question both Christian doctrine and the Priest’s patriarchal authority."
