Adam Beyt’s Remaking Humanity expresses the ontological vulnerability of embodied existence in a sacramental mode. This is both a provocative and constructive proposal for a theology that takes the experience of having and being a body seriously—including all of the dynamism, instability, and vulnerability that this entails. With the work of Edward Schillebeeckx as a starting point, Beyt builds from thinkers like Bulter, Merleau-Ponty, and Mbembe in pursuit of a mystical political practice involving the whole person. This book is a Thomistically grounded work of political theology that is steeped in the sacramental imagination, allowing it to run through doors pushed open by Schillebeeckx and earlier generations of scholars. Beyt imagines ‘incarnating hope’ in a way that expands the borders of the Rule of God beyond polarized binaries, exclusions, and inherited structures of violence.
