Marks of His Wounds cover

Felker Jones' purpose is to devise a theology of the body that is compatible with the feminist program. She argues that the doctrine of the resurrection of the body is central to this undertaking. She offers close readings of Augustine and Calvin in aid of her effort to find a way of speaking about body and soul that is consonant with the doctrine of bodily resurrection. Felker Jones concludes by inviting us to imagine a way for the gendered body to be redeemed without the erasure of difference.

Jones, writing with clarity and passion, grounds her theology of the body in the doctrine of the physical resurrection. This is a compelling book that has reshaped my theology of the body and the physical resurrection. * Rebekah Miles, author of The Bonds of Freedom: Feminist Theology and Christian Realism *
