“[A] brilliant and provocative work . . . demonstrating the centrality of the flesh to the mysteries and doctrines of the Christian faith.” —Carol Zaleski, Smith College A sustained and systematic theological reflection on the idea that being a Christian is, first and last, a matter of the flesh, Christian Flesh shows us what being a Christian means for fleshly existence. Depicting and analyzing what the Christian tradition has to say about the flesh of Christians in relation to that of Christ, the book shows that some kinds of fleshly activity conform well to being a Christian, while others are in tension with it. But to lead a Christian life is to be unconstrained by ordinary ethical norms. Arguing that no particular case of fleshly activity is forbidden, Paul J. Griffiths illustrates his message through extended case studies of what it is for Christians to eat, to clothe themselves, and to engage in physical intimacy. “In this trenchant and careful theological treatment of our embodiment, Paul Griffiths puts the stress exactly where it should be put––on the possibility of transfigured touch. By focusing on the varieties of touch, he is able to untangle several unfortunate arguments between liberals and conservatives in a most refreshing way.” —John Milbank, University of Nottingham “Very few theologians can boast a comparable combination of profound questioning and precise reasoning. This is a book worthy of the most serious reflection, debate, and admiration.” —David Bentley Hart, Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study “Supremely lucid and beautifully austere.” —Evan Sandsmark, Modern Theology “A model of well-reasoned, stimulating and enduring theology.” —R. David Nelson, International Journal of Systematic Theology
A meditation on the conversions, betrayals, and divine revelations of motherhood. What if Augustine's Confessions had been written not by a man, but by a mother? How might her tales of desire, temptation, and transformation differ from his? In this memoir, Natalie Carnes describes giving birth to a daughter and beginning a story of conversion strikingly unlike Augustine's—even as his journey becomes a surprising companion to her own. The challenges Carnes recounts will be familiar to many parents. She wonders what and how much she should ask her daughter to suffer in resisting racism, patriarchy, and injustice. She wrestles with an impulse to compel her child to flourish, and reflects on what this desire reveals about human freedom. She negotiates the conflicting demands of a religiously divided home, a working motherhood, and a variety of social expectations, and traces the hopes and anxieties such negotiations expose. The demands of motherhood continually open for her new modes of reflection about deep Christian commitments and age-old human questions. Addressing first her child and then her God, Carnes narrates how a child she once held within her body grows increasingly separate, provoking painful but generative change. Having given birth, she finds that she herself is reborn.
God, Sexuality and the Self is a new venture in systematic theology. Sarah Coakley invites the reader to re-conceive the relation of sexual desire and the desire for God and - through the lens of prayer practice - to chart the intrinsic connection of this relation to a theology of the Trinity. The goal is to integrate the demanding ascetical undertaking of prayer with the recovery of lost and neglected materials from the tradition and thus to reanimate doctrinal reflection both imaginatively and spiritually. What emerges is a vision of human longing for the triune God which is both edgy and compelling: Coakley's théologie totale questions standard shibboleths on 'sexuality' and 'gender' and thereby suggests a way beyond current destructive impasses in the churches. The book is clearly and accessibly written and will be of great interest to all scholars and students of theology.
The Other Journal: Prayer by The Other Journal Pdf
Nothing embodies the mystery of faith quite like prayer. Although sometimes an elusive practice that may baffle and confuse, prayer is not otherworldly, for it is in prayer, in talking and listening to our infinite, loving creator, that we truly find our way in this world. In the twenty-first issue of The Other Journal, contributors consider the transformative mystery of prayer in all its questions and practicalities. They carefully think through intercessory prayer and prayerful political theology and what it means to commune with God and one another. They dance, laugh, and pray like fools. The issue features essays and reviews by Emmanuel Katongole, Erin Lane, Timothy McGee, L. Roger Owens, Andrew Prevot, Carl Raschke, and Lauren Smelser White; interviews by Kate Rae Davis, Ashleigh Elser, Jen Grabarczyk, and SueJeanne Koh with Sarah Coakley, Peter Ochs, Dominique Ovalle, and Richard Twiss; and fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry by Mary M. Brown, Kate Rae Davis, Denise Frame Harlan, Katie Manning, Tania Moore, Jillena Rose, Nicholas Samaras, and Robert Vander Lugt.
Other Worlds, Other Bodies by Emily Pierini,Alberto Groisman,Diana Espírito Santo Pdf
When approaching the multiplicity of the spiritual experiences of healing, ethnographers are often presented with ideas of the existence of “other” worlds that may intersect with the so-called “material” or “physical” worlds. This book proposes a sensory ethnography of healing with a focus on ethnographic knowing as embedded in an embodied epistemology of healing. Epistemological embodiment signals that personal scholarly experience of the “unknown”—be it in the form of trance, or as the embodiment of an “other”—shapes the concepts of healing, body, trance, self, and matter by which ethnographers craft out analysis.

My Little Journal of Out-of-Body Experiences by Denise Martinson Pdf
This is not a book about how to teach out-of-body-experiences (OBEs). There are many good books already written on how to induce them. It is not about the history of OBEs. Even though there have been numerous studies in the field that still challenges nonphysical existence, such as near-death experiences (NDEs) and other metaphysical subjects, it is the OBE that aids in our growth and development and, most especially, our awareness about eternity. Scientists, who are unable to solve out-of-body experiences or near-death experiences, try to explain them as the body's way of tricking itself into believing it lives after death. They say it is the loss of oxygen to the brain, or a psychological episode that causes hallucinations. When in truth, we leave our bodies every single night, not under any defense apparatus, but our natural, nightly ritual called dreams, which are really out-of-body experiences. In fact, an NDE is not necessary in order to have an OBE, or being ill or under drugs, but they still may bring them on. Some researchers believe the mind separates while in the OBE or altered state of consciousness. This is because consciousness has the ability to be in two places at once. Just like when we were born, we had to grow and learn, and while this was happening, the mind acquired new knowledge as it traveled on the other side. In other words, our soul stays with the body (except during an OBE) until we pass over because it is the body that shuts down and dies, not the soul or consciousness. It releases itself completely to the other side after death. During an OBE, I still had my body, all five of my senses, and an extremely alert and a sharp mental state. They have helped me to never fear death. In fact, each experience enriched my life even more. Especially when I was quiet and was able to tune into the energy within, where I easily entered other dimensions and received guidance. Believe me, it is not easy to write a book about OBEs. It is not an everyday subject to focus on or for us to understand. But once the reader enters my journal of out-of-body experiences, they will journey with me to the other side, visit other dimensions, see the light, and hopefully, be able to understand their own spirituality along the way. Note: The "Brain Bits" sections have the most information and answers many questions. Even the great Edgar Cayce once said that other people could leave their bodies like he did.
