Abstract:
This Introduction to a special issue on “Poetics/Praxis” provides a brief overview of the shared investments of poetic texts and Christian practice. It offers a brief survey of exegetical writing on the incarnation in order to illustrate sympathies between early Christian thinking about the meaningfulness of materiality and theoretical accounts of poetic structure.
