In this creative book, Sharon Betcher presents a strong case that theology does not have to end as dominant notions of the divine shatter in the life-or-death struggles of our increasingly intertwined lives. In fact,theology begins again where people of various faiths and of little faith begin to identify the work of the Spirit in their midst. That Spirit emerges from the complex intersections of our vulnerable lives, rather than descending from above, is good news to all those of us who are "weary and are carrying heavy burdens" (Matt 11:28). -----Joerg Rieger, Wendland-Cook Professor of Constructive Theology, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, Sharon Betcher's cosmopolis of 'corporeal generosity' emits an eerie beauty. Its theopoetics for seculars does not exclude any theology worth practicing but reads Spirit in the cracks of bodies, cities, politics, wisdoms. In the brilliance of this "crip/tography" the sites of our acute vulnerability signal possibilities that we do not want to miss--whatever our discipline or art, our religion or irreligion. -----Catherine Keller, Drew University, " . . . A trend setter. This book is a path to help us find a new theology of hopefulness, a spirituality of resilience." --Rev. Dr. Devorah Greenstein, Starr King School for the Ministry, Graduate Theological Union, A powerful, poignant witness from an author who lives with and works through the lens of disability, Professor Betcher finds through such a perspective hopeful practices for 21st century urban living. This rich, poetic text pleading for "corporeal generosity" is profoundly within the Christian incarnational tradition while commending a radical practice of obligation stemming from Spirit as "prosthesis," as an aid to neighbor love. I recommend this book as an outstanding example of constructive theology to move us from merely global to planetary citizens, supporting all of life in its diversity, deviancy, and limitation, as well as rejoicing in its joys and delights. -----Sallie McFague, Distinguished Theologian in Residence, Vancouver School of Theology, and Professor of Theology Emerita, Vanderbilt University., . . . A trend setter. This book is a path to help us find a new theology of hopefulness, a spirituality of resilience. -----Rev.

Synopsis
Drawing on philosophical reflection, spiritual and religious values, and somatic practice, Spirit and the Obligation of Social Flesh offers guidance for moving amidst the affective dynamics that animate the streets of the global cities now amassing around our planet. Here theology turns decidedly secular. In urban medieval Europe, seculars were uncloistered persons who carried their spiritual passion and sense of an obligated life into daily circumambulations of the city. Seculars lived in the city, on behalf of the city, but--contrary to the new profit economy of the time--with a different locus of value: spirit. Betcher argues that for seculars today the possibility of a devoted life, the practice of felicity in history, still remains. Spirit now names a necessary "prosthesis," a locus for regenerating the elemental commons of our interdependent flesh and thus for cultivating spacious and fearless empathy, forbearance, and generosity. Her theological poetics, though based in Christianity, are frequently in conversation with other religions resident in our postcolonial cities., Spirit and Cosmopolis puts theology on location on the streets of our planet's cities and articulates philosophical reflection worked through religious values for living amidst the affective dynamics of the street. Precarity ensconced in the postcolonial city is critically exposed. "Crip/tography" names a proposed urban choreography, a calculus based on Spirit's generosity, that redresses fear and otherwise advances neighbor love.

The seller met two out of three categories I look for when judging my purchasing experience: how well it was packaged, how quickly it was shipped, and how properly it was described; this seller provided prompt shipping and an accurate description, but failed when it came to packaging. The item arrived in a plastic bag without any reinforcement or protection whatsoever and suffered dinged corners on multiple fronts.
