Infos

Emmanuel Falque's The Wedding Feast of the Lamb represents a turning point in his thought. Here, Falque links philosophy and theology in an original fashion that allows us to see the full effect of theology's "e;backlash"e; against philosophy.By attending closely to the incarnation and the eucharist, Falque develops a new concept of the body and of love: By avoiding the common mistake of "e;angelism"e;-consciousness without body-Falque considers the depths to which our humanity reflects animality, or body without consciousness. He shows the continued relevance of the question "e;How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"e; (John 6:52), especially to philosophy.We need to question the meaning of "e;this is my body"e; in "e;a way that responds to the needs of our time"e; (Vatican II). Because of the ways that "e;Hoc est corpus meum"e; has shaped our culture and our modernity, this is a problem both for religious belief and for culture.
