Body

Biblical Spirituality for the Whole Person Paula Gooder

T

he word 'spirituality' is difficult to define, and is usually used to refer to the inner relationship between one's 'spirit' or 'soul' and God. But this suggests that people only relate to God with their 'inner being' and not with any other part of who they are, leaving some people believing that the material (body/flesh) is bad and the spiritual (the soul/spirit) is good. Theologian, Paula Gooder, explores the meaning of spirituality in the Bible, particularly in reference to the role of the body in St Paul's writings, and the implications of this on how we view ourselves; heart, mind, and soul.

lthough parts of the Western world appear almost totally secularised, Christianity remains the most potent worldview on earth alongside Islam. In this compelling book, Shortt gracefully argues that Christianity is a much more coherent, progressive body of belief - philosophically, scientifically and culturally - than often supposed. Alert to religious fundamentalism and secularist blind spots, he shows how a self-critical faith and the promotion of peace and environmental sustainability are of huge importance to humanity's growth.
