In this new book, Brannon Hancock explores the theme of the ""scandalous"" sacrament in the context of our current Western culture which some would describe as ""post-Christian"", and in the light of the Christian churches who hold sacramental life as central to their faith.In the texts addressed by Hancock we return to the body in all its messy complexity, and therefore to the mystery which lies at the very heart of the sacramental incarnation, the Word made Flesh.
