"This book focuses on God's body in the New Testament. While there are various views
in the New Testament regarding God's body, the present work argues that Luke-Acts
stands out as an important example of a New Testament text that portrays God as visible
and corporeal. According to Luke, God is a visible, concrete being who can take on
a variety of different forms, as well as a being who is intimately intertwined with
human fleshliness in the form of Jesus. In this way, the God of Israel does not adhere
to the incorporeal deity of Platonic philosophy, especially as read through post-Enlightenment
eyes. Luke's portrayal of God instead finds more affinity with Greco-Roman traditions
that conceive of the divine in corporeal terms, and above all, with the God found
in the pages of Jewish Scripture. Moreover, Luke's depiction of Jesus as an embodied
being has both similarities and dissimilarities with Luke's depiction of Israel's
God and points ahead to future controversies concerning Jesus's divinity and humanity
in the early church. Indeed, in Luke-Acts and beyond, questions concerning God's body
are intimately intertwined with Christology and shed light on how to understand Jesus's
own visible embodiment in relation to God"
