Theology laid bare

Following through from my posting last week, I came across two items in the past few days that really help to clarify some of the issues I was seeking to consider on the nature of redemption and the body. The first of these is a jolting review from the Mockingbird website, which really examines the way that our faith is entirely physical in respect to its consequences and future ramifications.

The second is a conversation from Christianity Today, looking at the way our faith has sought to represent and appropriately honor the physical beauty of the female form in theology and art, which may surprise you.

What both items help to unpack is exactly the nature of what Lewis understood in respects to where our faith is heading - towards full material redemption and a bodily life that will indeed be the fulfillment of all that was fleetingly encountered in Eden.
