Book Overview
Our predominant experience is that we have a body, with which we work, eat, dance, make love, have pleasure. But sometimes when we are sick, tired, or in pain, our perception changes; then we experience that we are our bodies. That is the experience which Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel explores in this unique book.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Moltmann-Wendel's brief work recommends a more embodied, practical theology which counteracts the effects of historic Christian ambivalent attitudes about the body: on the one hand, the wholistic treatment of body and soul by Jesus as healer, and, on the other hand, the Stoic and gnostic views of a split between body and soul. Both men and women will find comfort in her views which seeks to respond to our culture's restrictive, highly stereotyped and body-conscious messages. The only limitations of this short book have to do with the author's reticence to delve more deeply.
