Body Without End: Biological Mutualism and the Body of Christ

International Journal of Systematic Theology, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 312-328, April 2023., 2023
Abstract This article argues that the ecological turn towards biological mutualism enlivens our understanding of the eschatological promise contained in Christ’s resurrected and ascended body.
