Features
* All essays are diverse and propose no single way to link spirituality and embodiment.
* Several essays re-read classical spiritual and political traditions represented in the New Testament, Bernard of Clairvaux, Thomas of Aquinas, Julian of Norwich and Martin Luther.
* Essays address peculiarly modern problems - contemporary appeals to "inwardness", reifications of The State, and competing African-American spiritualities.
* Each essay is concerned with finding a theological way of holding together what is usually divided.
