Born Again Bodies: Flesh and Spirit in American Christianity by R. Marie Griffith

5.0

A truly excellent study of the complex interaction between Christianity and secular culture, providing a much-needed nuance to overly simplistic accounts of the ‘secularised’ salvation myth ingrained in western thinness culture. A challenging read that reminds us as a church of our ongoing complicity in racial and economic hierarchies and injustices, and our fear and oppression of otherness. This is a sharply (and needfully) critical, yet deeply empathetic and well written book, and I would highly recommend it.
