This collection brings consideration of the human body onto the grid of theological studies. The book explores three primary clusters of questions: To what extent did the biblical authors portray God as having a body or body parts? How does the medium of divine embodiment help ancient authors to express God beliefs? Secondly, how is the dynamic of a human relationship to the divine mediated through bodies? How are gendered bodies and disabled bodies constructed in the context of the divine-human encounter? Thirdly, what happens when we look at issues of the body through the hermeneutics of theology? What new avenues for biblical theology might be explored with a more expansive outlook on embodiment? Over the last 30 years this pioneering series has established an unrivaled reputation for cutting-edge international scholarship in Biblical Studies and has attracted leading authors and editors in the field. The series takes many original and creative approaches to its subjects, including innovative work from historical and theological perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory, and more recent developments in cultural studies and reception history.
