{"product_id":"embodied-living-as-whole-people-in-a-fractured-world-9781540900050","title":"Embodied: Living as Whole People in a Fractured World","description":"We rarely give thought to our bodies until faced with a physical challenge or crisis. We have somehow internalized the unbiblical idea that the immaterial aspect of our being (our soul or spirit) is inherently good while the material aspect (our body) is at worst inherently evil and at best neutral--just a vehicle for our souls to get around. So we end up neglecting or disparaging our bodies, seeing them as holding us back from spiritual growth and longing for the day we will be free of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the thing is, we don't \u003ci\u003ehave \u003c\/i\u003ebodies; we \u003ci\u003eare \u003c\/i\u003eour bodies. And God created us that way for a reason. With Scripture as his guide, theologian Gregg Allison presents a holistic theology of the human body from conception through eternity to equip us to address pressing contemporary issues related to our bodies, including how we express our sexuality, whether gender is inherent or constructed, the meaning of suffering, body image, end of life questions, and how to live as whole people in a fractured world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAllison, Gregg R.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eGregg R.
