The Revelatory Body by Luke Timothy Johnson

Theology as Inductive Art

A theological exploration arguing that divine revelation is encountered through human embodiment and lived practice as much as through texts and doctrines. It invites attention to the wisdom manifested in bodies—through aging, suffering, disability, desire, and communal action—and shows how these experiences can shape faithful moral discernment. Drawing on Scripture, early Christian practice, and contemporary life, it critiques disembodied approaches and proposes an incarnational, sacramental vision grounded in what people actually do with and to their bodies.
