Chad Thompson offers a unique examination of symbolism inscribed by God in our bodies, weaving a tapestry of insights on the spiritual, psychological, sociological, and anthropological implications of human embodiment. Drawing from an array of sources, including John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, Chad offers a timely exploration of how the way we perceive and esteem our bodies impacts our relationships with self, others, and God.

Chad presents a thoughtful perspective on the body’s role in spirituality. His examination of historical and contemporary perspectives adds depth to his analysis. There are so many thought-provoking ideas here I’d like to see a discussion guide in the future! I was delighted to read a way to view our physical bodies that is a refreshing alternative to our western culture and some of the current trends within Christendom.
