Description
Summary:This paper will address how the study of religion and key theological claims of the Christian religion can provide fundamentally positive conditions for talking about bodies, and—at the same time—indirectly contribute to an abelist learning environment. A brief exploration of the theology of the Incarnation, monastic ascetic endurance and the Resurrection considering contemporary views of the body and health will be followed by case studies that demonstrate how content might impact student learning; this paper will conclude with suggestions for thinking about challenging content and student learning.
