Words Made Flesh draws together a number of Elaine Graham's shorter
writings and essays and thereby maps out the work of a pioneer
theological thinker and the development of pastoral and practical
theology in the last twenty years. Elaine Graham considers the
theological significance of topics as diverse as nativity plays,
science fiction, gender, consumerism, cyberspace and urban
regeneration. They all share a concern with the way the sources and
norms of the Christian tradition can enter into a creative and
critical conversation with contemporary experience in order to
generate the 'practical wisdom' by which the life of the Church can
be directed. They reflect the author's fundamental conviction that
theology as 'talk about God-in-the-world' is always practical and
public - and that it begins and ends in the complexities of the
human condition: where words become flesh. About the Author

Fergusson Professor of Social and Pastoral Theology at the
