Beskrivning
A remarkable interrogation of the corporeality of the divine undertaken by a renowned philosopher/theologianDoes God appear ""in flesh and bones,"" that is to say, ""made of flesh and bones""? Or is the resur­rected Christ’s appearance simply ""in person""? These questions, which might appear inconsequential at first sight, obsessed the Fathers of the church and medieval scholars, but are neglected nowadays. Perhaps we no longer dare to ask them to ourselves. The Flesh of God attempts to return to what Paul Ricoeur calls a ""second naïveté,"" analyzing important questions concerning the Resurrection and trying to face head-on the problem of the embodiment of the divine.This book retraces a philosophical triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday) but also highlights the crucial and neglected topic of Holy Saturday. It emphasizes that Christianity can no longer sustain itself by forgetting the organic and disregarding the soul. Far from getting bogged down in questions of boundaries, or erecting barriers, we come back in the book to find­ing out how we can ""cross the Rubicon"" between philosophy and theology. The confrontation of these disciplines and their different fields can revitalize thought and faith, for those who feel the importance of sharing it.
