Marks of His Wounds: Gender Politics and Bodily Resurrection by Beth Felker Jones

theratking's review against another edition

3.0

I can't lie, saying I finished reading this feels like a little bit of a stretch. After the third chapter which focused heavily on Calvin's theology of the body, I was a little unmotivated, just because I didn't find it all that interesting. Also, the last chapter of this book, I found very difficult to get through for, ya know, reasons. I definitely can understand the value of this book. It was cool to see an approach to Christian theology alongside feminist theory. However, for a few reasons, the specific feminism of this book was not one that I could particularly resonate with.

[Writing a theology book must be fun though, because you just get to make up words like Christoformity and cruciformity and the reader just has to figure it out!]
