Abstract
I will examine a central doctrine of Christianity, incarnation, in the light of Catherine Keller’s theology of entanglement. I will argue that joining these two concepts together moves Christian theology beyond the idea of universal love. It grounds incarnation in the flesh and blood of all creation through the dunamis of which Jesus spoke which he said was the birthright of all. Dunamis draws us out towards others, while the notion of entanglement based in Paul’s idea of God being all in all, leads to a more personal enfleshed encounter with all that lives-human and nonhuman. Entanglement is the very ground of our being and the article will argue that by becoming more aware of this through touch and an open heart we can stop destroying our home and may even aid its renewed flourishing.
