YouTube description

Oliver Crisp, Professor of Systematic Theology, describes how understanding ourselves as "embodied creatures" in this life and the next impacts our relationship with God, with each other, and even with consumerism. "We shouldn't think of embodied existence as some kind of preliminary to something betterif you think about the whole of life as being lived in the presence of God, and that God suffuses everything that we dowe will no longer be tempted to think there's something we do in the classroom with our headswhich is somehow completely divorced from and other than what we do in everyday life"
