Pryor has chosen a topic that is relevant to a world in which the treatment of bodies, particularly marginalized bodies, is a pressing concern. . . .

The chapters are thoroughly referenced, and the typology of Part I may be particularly helpful for seminary or graduate students in theology. Pryor’s theological interpretation of Merleau-Ponty will help expand our understanding of the flesh that the Word was made.
