University of California, Berkeley
Department of English
Steven Justice is an Associate Professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of Writing and Rebellion: England in 1381 (1994) and has written a number of essays on medieval England and France.
Justice's book project, Did the Middle Ages Believe in their Miracles? asks what kind of cognitive investment, and what kind of experience, western medieval Christianity expected theological belief to consist of. This project reveals some of the speculative, even skeptical, energy that was available to normative Christianity, and from this discussion, rethinks the relation of intellectual freedom in the middle ages to ascetic and institutional disciplines.
