Overview

In Embodied Holiness: The Biblical Call to Bodily Care, author Lainey Greer challenges the Christian tendency to undervalue the body. Drawing on biblical, historical, and theological arguments, she contends that our physical bodies are integral to our spiritual lives. By neglecting our bodies, the church misses out on opportunities to glorify God and live out its faith fully.

Greer explores the roots of body-neglecting beliefs in neo-Gnosticism and offers practical guidance for embracing embodied holiness. She demonstrates how a renewed understanding of the body can lead to healthier, more fulfilling lives and a stronger witness for Christ in a world that often disregards the importance of physical well-being.

This book offers a powerful call to action, urging Christians to confront body-denying beliefs within the church and culture and to embrace embodied holiness as a beacon of light in a world that often disregards the physical.
