Embodiment

This book examines a number of landmark shifts in our account of the relationship between human and divine existence as reflected through the perception of time and corporeal experience. Drawing together some of the best scholars in the field this book provides a representative cross-section of influential trends in the philosophy of religion (e.g. phenomenology existential thought Biblical hermeneutics deconstruction) that have shaped our understanding of the body in its profane and sacred dimensions as site of conflicting discourses on presence and absence subjectivity and the death of the subject mortality resurrection and eternal life.
