Inheritance and Resistance: Reclaiming Bible, Body and Power

In this insightful collection of essays, Mothy Varkey makes an important contribution not only to the field of the Biblical studies, but also to the emerging studies on intersection of Bible, Body and Empire. He calls for a critical decolonizing reading of the scripture, capable of reclaiming the radical subversive power of both the physical human body and the ‘body of the faithful’ called ekklesia. This book proposes ‘embodied ecclesiology’ and ‘embodied anthropology’ as tools to resist the empire.
