Description

Material Mystery analyzes three anthropomorphic figures from religious myths: the bodies of Adam and Christ and the resurrected or “glorious” body. Using Jewish and Christian Wisdom traditions, the book argues that these myths help us to understand the interaction, interdependence, and divine character of all matter.Shows how the new materialisms and ancient mysticism have much more in common than we tend to think.
