Some bodies

"The Eucharist remains a parable by means of which bodiliness in a variety of forms may be recognized and appreciated. Jesus' purpose at the Last Supper, the author contends, was to transmit his entire identity, flesh and spirit alike, to the community he thereby recreated. The recognition of this offers a fresh opportunity to appreciate other kinds of bodiliness: natural, erotic, symbolic and cosmic, as well as communal. This book, in a perceptive and enlightening manner, celebrates that opportunity." [Publisher].
