Bridal Mysticism, Virtual Marriage, and Masculinity in the Moravian Hymnbook Kleines Brüdergesangbuch.

This article discusses the connections between virtual interaction, masculinity, and bridal mysticism in the Moravian hymnbook Kleines Brüdergesangbuch (1754). The motifs inherent in the hymnbook are examined in light of its anthropological presentations and perception of the divine, i.e. Jesus Christ, using mainly the ideas of virtual interaction (S. Knauss) and hegemonic masculinity (R. Connell). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
