The metaphor of the cosmos as the Body of Christ offers an
opportunity to escape the aporias of standard Body of Christ
imagery, which has often proved anthropocentric, exclusivist,
triumphalist and/or sexist in the analyses of classical theologies.
The body motif in particular contains starting points for current
body discourses of gender-sensitive and ecological theologies,
especially in their mutual overlaps. This book offers a critical
evaluation of the prospects and boundaries of an updated metaphor
of the Body of Christ, especially in its cosmic dimension. The
first part of the book addresses the complex tradition in which the
universal dimension of cosmological Christologies is located,
including the thinking of the Apostles Paul and John, Origen,
Cusanus, Teilhard de Chardin, McFague, and Panikkar. In the second
part of the book, representatives of various innovative concepts
will contribute to the anthology. This is a wide-ranging study of
the implications of a new cosmic Body of Christ. As such, it will
be of interest to academics working in Religion and Gender,
Religion and the Environment, Theology and Christology.
