Less frequently studied is the epistolary exchange to which it responds, particularly Juana’s \u003cem\u003eCrisis sobre un sermón\u003c\/em\u003e (or \u003cem\u003eCarta atenagórica\u003c\/em\u003e, 1690), her response to a sermon by the Portuguese Jesuit Antonio Vieira on Christ’s greatest \u003cem\u003efineza\u003c\/em\u003e, or demonstration of love. In the \u003cem\u003eCrisis\u003c\/em\u003e, Sor Juana puts into practice what she would later argue in the \u003cem\u003eRespuesta\u003c\/em\u003e: that women could, and should, engage in theological study, and that a woman’s well-reasoned argument would defeat any man’s ill-founded and unorthodox thought. This is the first annotated, critical edition and English translation of the complete published exchange between Sor Juana and Manuel Fernández de Santa Cruz, with a comprehensive introduction, commented textual variants, and extensive textual notes. The introduction explores how the \u003cem\u003eCrisis\u003c\/em\u003e can be read in relation to Juana’s other works, including her love poetry, her eucharistic drama \u003cem\u003eEl mártir del Sacramento\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003ePrimero sueño\u003c\/em\u003e. By analysing its central themes, this study argues that the \u003cem\u003eCrisis\u003c\/em\u003e is key to Juana’s defence of women’s learning, while also shedding light on her views on gender, theological enquiry, and the dynamics of love, both religious and secular.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49724508602712,"sku":"9781802074543","price":127.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781802074543__677404e89635e_3206b95b-bb08-4761-884e-c1e6c78c5f5a.jpg?v=1741156250","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/sor-juana-ines-de-la-cruz-critique-of-a-sermon-and-other-letters-crisis-sobre-un-sermon-carta-de-sor-filotea-by-manuel-fernandez-de-santa-cruz-respuesta-a-sor-filotea","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
