Buffy Scholar/Critic

Wendy Love Anderson Assistant Professor of Theological Studies at Saint Louis University. She specializes in medieval church history, con- centrating on such freaky topics as mysticism, apocalypticism, and heresy. The book she is currently writing deals with the late medieval evolution of guidelines for distinguishing between true and false rev- elations, so she can take most of the third season of Angel as a shout- out to her work. She also agrees with Wesley Wyndham-Pryce that apocalyptic prophecies aren't exactly a science.
