What is it about?
This is the the fifth chapter of my monograph, _In Good Company: The Body and Divinization in the Thought of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ and Daoist Xiao Yingsou_. After being prepared by reading the theologies of Teilhard and Xiao, the reader finds in this chapter the fruit of the comparison. It presents a body fully capable of transformation and resurrection. Teilhard hinted a this in his writing, but Xiao emphasized images. Text and images are placed side-by-side for comparison.

Why is it important?
This book reimagines the resurrected body in such a way as to increase appreciation for our physical bodies in the present life. It gives a renewed view of the body that amplifies the spiritual significance of body, creation, and physicality.
Perspectives
This is my initial attempt to articulate the intuitions I've gained from a comparative reading of Daoism and Christianity that answers many of my own questions of faith.
