Abstract

The introduction begins with the bold claim that in some parts of the New Testament, God is a being who has a body and who can be seen. It briefly outlines why many Westerners today believe that God is invisible and incorporeal and discusses the role that Platonism in particular has had in forming that view. It also provides a brief overview of key scholars who discuss God’s body in the Hebrew Bible and highlights the importance of Jewish portrayals of God’s body for this project. The introduction then discusses the various ways in which embodiment can be conceived, both in recent theory and in ancient discourse, and it provides an overview of the book’s contents.
