Apophatic Bodies: Negative Theology, Incarnation, and Relationality | by Chris Boesel | Catherine Keller | ‎ Fordham University Press | ‎ English | ‎ 1st Edition

Product description Review "This volume is a luminescent contribution to the fields of theology and philosophy, taking up from a variety of disciplinary positions the ancient little problem of "the body" and its stubborn escapes from-and creative contributions to-theological discourse. These essays clearly represent scholarly exchange even as each can stand alone; they have been masterfully edited into a work that, taken as a whole, give us at last a non-reductive mode of thinking toward embodiment. " -- -Laurel C. Schneider Chicago Theological Seminary "Deepens and broadens the rediscovery of apophatic theology that is currently occuring in various fields of study." -- -Marion Grau Church Divinity School of the Pacific "Takes the current discussions about negative or apophatic theology to the next level by crossing apophaticism with the theme of material bodies, and the result is a powerful and important set of cutting-edge theoretical essays." -- -Clayton Crockett University of Central Arkansas About the Author Chris Boesel is associate professor of Christian theology at Drew Theological School in New Jersey.
