Maternal Body Who wrote it? Carrie Frederick Frost, a professor of theology at St. Sophia Ukrainian Orthodox Seminary What’s it about? The subtitle is “A theology of incarnation from the Christian East”. Frost looks at Orthodox theology, iconography, writing, hymnody, and practice as they relate to conception, pregnancy, birthgiving, postpartum, and breastfeeding. She also considers the heretofore underappreciated significance of women’s physical experiences of motherhood.

Nice! I’d love to hear your thoughts on it when you read!
