The Embodied God

Seeing the Divine in Luke-Acts and the Early Church

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In The Embodied God, Wilson focuses on depictions of God's body in the New Testament. She argues that Luke-Acts emerges as an important example of a New Testament text that portrays God as visible and corporeal and that this portrayal has significant implications for how we are to understand early Christology.
