Theology is Not a Head Trip! Sense and Spirituality
-
- Christianity
In this chapter Diana talks about the messiness of the body and challenges dualistic understandings of Christianity which depict the Spirit as good and the Body as evil or sinful. She also reminds us that Jesus was a flesh and blood human being who served God in and through his body and who healed by touching others. He never said: "Think about this OR fight about that." Moreover, his Healings Were Nearly Always Preceded by Physical Touch. Theology is not a head trip. It is done best in and through our bodies. In fact, that is the only way we do theology!
