Christianity is deeply interested in the body. In its central
mysteries -- creation, incarnation, and resurrection -- the body
and human flesh are radically implicated. Bodies are persons, and
persons are spiritual beings, bearers of the divine image and
destined for bodily union with God. From the Bible to the Second
Vatican Council, from Irenaeus and Tertullian to Aquinas and
Luther, the classic sources of the Christian tradition engender a
spiritual philosophy that challenges the ever-present gnostic
impulse either to marginalize, or else to worship, the body. Adam
G. Cooper brings these rich sources into conversation with numerous
contemporary voices in philosophy and theology, offering an
illuminating and critical perspective on such pressing social and
ethical questions as pornography, feminism, philosophy of mind,
sterility, and death.
