Berger delves into the experiences of not just men and women, but also inter-sexed individuals, eunuchs, and ascetic virgins. Through historical case studies, the author investigates traditional aspects like liturgical space and eucharistic practices while introducing innovative methodologies for studying the past, offering fresh insights into contemporary discussions on gender within liturgical life.
