The Poisoned Embrace is a provocative investigation into the history of sexual pessimism as it has evolved in Western theology throughout the ages. Since the days of the Early Fathers, sex and death have formed a theological equation known as sexual pessimism. This aversion to the carnal, and its consequent elevation of the virginal and the chaste, springs not from Christianity, but from Gnosticism. Osborne examines the art, mythologies, and traditions of Christendom, and distinguishes thematic archetypes: the Virgin, the Witch, the Leper, the Noble Savage, the Jew, the Oriental, the Androgyne, and Don Juan. He traces our now-glorified ideal of sexual passion back to the Troubadours and Northern Mystics, and explores how the Passion of the Cross relates the ideas of sublime passion and therapeutic energy.Binding Type: Paperback

Would buy again
Size: 26"/14"/12"
These wipers are fantastic. They were easy to install and conformed to the windshield perfectly. Did a great job wiping the rain away. Best thing of all is they lock into place on the wiper arm.

Great price, easy install; fit
Size: 25" 22" 15"
Great price, easy install; fit My Volkswagen Tiguan 2023 S. Glad I waited for next day delivery instead of going to autozone where comparable wipers cost $45 and that was WITH two coupons!! It would have been $60 without. The ONLY thing that could be better is warning you to make sure when you’re pressing in the wiper that you hold it from the very top or else your finger will slam down into the trap part and it will hurt like heck and make you bleed (personal experience this afternoon…) Otherwise great. Took off one star for that but maybe Im the only person thats ever happened to? (Im doubtful.) its not directly related to the product itself but just would be a helpful tip for ANY windshield wipers to include!
