Book recommendations
I'm taking a seminary course this quarter on Liberation Theology, and even though I haven't even gone to the first class yet (it's on Thursday), I am SO excited to write my paper on Fat theology!
The only book I can find so far is this one from Amazon: The Fat Jesus: Christianity and Body Image, but I haven't read it yet, so I don't know how good it is.
I know of a lot of books on fat acceptance, health at every size, etc. from a secular point of view, but I'm not aware of many books or resources about fat theology. (Maybe I'll write one... haha... just kidding... mostly).
Anyway, do any of you have any recommendations of books, articles, films, anything... even just people (pastors, theologians, faithful thinkers doing thinking about fat theology) who haven't put their thoughts down in print media yet, who I could contact? Have any of YOU been doing some fat theology and have interest in talking over your ideas with me? I'll also check in with the professor of the course; hopefully she'll know at least one person in my area I can talk to :)
