PIRES, Raquel Elisabeth. Erotism and Religion: an instigative dialogue. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2007, vol.41, n.2, pp.141-148. ISSN 0486-641X.
For a personal experience of profound emotional impact evoked frm Gian Lorenzo Berninis Saint Thereza Ecstasy some ideas about the relationship between erotism and religion have been developed. The intimate connection between erotism and religion in the art during the baroque period, as well as, the lack of psychoanalytic texts showing that relationship, is emphasized. Some ideas about the relationship between psychoanalysis, religion and erotism are discussed.
