Intercarnations: Exercises in Theological Possibility
Intercarnations: Exercises in Theological Possibility

Abstract
Affirmations of body, flesh, and matter pervade current theology and inevitably echo with the doctrine of the incarnation. Yet, in practice, materialism remains contested ground—between Marxist and capitalist, reductive and postmodern iterations. Current theological explorations of our material ecologies cannot elude the tug or drag of the doctrine of “the incarnation.” But what if we were to redistribute, rather than repress, that singular body? Might we free it—along with the bodies in which it is boundlessly entangled—from a troubling history of Christian exceptionalism? This book proposes to liberate the notion of the divine made flesh from the exclusivity of orthodox Christian theology's Jesus of Nazareth. The book attends to bodies diversely religious, irreligious, social, animal, female, queer, cosmopolitan, and cosmic, highlighting the intermittencies and interdependencies of intra-world relations. According to the book, when God is cast on the waters of a polydoxical indeterminacy, she/he/it returns manifold. For the many for whom theos has become impossible, the book exercises new theological possibilities through the diffraction of contextually diverse multiplicities. It enriches and challenges current theological thinking. The chapters reach back into feminist, process, and postcolonial discourses, and further back into messianic and mystical potentialities.
