| Summary: | The African Jesus of Tinyiko Maluleke and the Christ of deep incarnation represent two radically different christological trajectories. While the deep incarnation theologians extend Jesus's body into social and cosmic bodies, Maluleke locates Jesus's body in the bodies of his fellow Africans. Each of these christological moves is interpreted as a manifestation, albeit in a different sense, of God's radical embodiment through Jesus in our world. African appropriations of Jesus stand out as a warning that even christologizing centered upon the category of "flesh" is at risk of remaining purely visionary unless it is done by and/or with those in whose own bodies Jesus is being crucified. |
