This paper argues that while many forms of Christian theology are "triumphalist, monarchical, [and] patriarchal", the texts of medieval love mysticism tend to subvert such forms, creating instead a theology that is relational. In this, it is closer to a number of post-modern feminist theological approaches than to medieval and contemporary patriarchal theologies.
