Paul Tillich's account of ""ultimate concern"" has been crucial for
his theological legacy. It is a concept that has been taken up and
adapted by many theologians in an array of subfields. However,
Tillich's own account of ultimate concern and many of the
subsequent uses of it have focused on intelligibility: the ways it
makes what is ultimate more accessible to us as rational beings.
This volume charts a different course by placing Tillich's theology
in conversation with theories of radical embodiment. The essays
gathered here use discourses on the particularity and mutability of
the body to offer a critical vantage point for constructive
engagement with Tillich's central theological category: ultimate
concern. Each essay explores how individuals can be special bearers
of ultimate concern by engaging the body's role in faith, religion,
and culture. As Mary Ann Stenger, professor emerita from University
of Louisville, observes in her introduction: ""From concerns about
bodily integrity to considering bodies on the margins of society to
discussions of technologically modified bodies, these articles
offer us fresh theological insights and call us to ethical thinking
and actions in relation to our bodies and the bodies around us. And
certainly, today, the body and a person's right to bodily integrity
have become central, critical issues in our culture."" Contributors
include: David H. Nikkel, Kayko Driedger Hesslein, Beth
Ritter-Conn, Tyler Atkinson, Courtney Wilder, Adam Pryor, and Devan
Stahl.
