{"product_id":"divine-enjoyment-elaine-padilla-9780823263561","title":"Divine Enjoyment: A Theology of Passion and Exuberance","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book's theological and philosophical construction of a God of enjoyment poetically remaps divine love. Posing a critique to the Aristotelian unmoved mover whose intellective enjoyment is self-enclosed, this book's affective tones depict a passionate God who intermingles with the cosmos to suffer and yearn out of love-- even improper love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDivine Enjoyment leads the reader to a path of excess, first in the form of an intellective appetite that for Aquinas places God beyond the divine self, then more erotically in the silhouette of a lover whose love is like the delectable pain of mystics. Culminating with banqueting, fiesta, and carnival, the book deterritorializes God's affect, conceiving of an expansively hospitable enjoyment stemming from many life forms \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a renewed welcome for pleasure, the book also upholds a disruptive ethic. Ultimately, an immoderate God of love whose passionate enjoyment stems from the sufferings as well as joys of the cosmos offers another paradigm of lovingly enjoying oneself in relationship with passionate becomings that belong to many others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaine Padilla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823263568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823263561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2015","brand":"Elaine Padilla","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48517487100159,"sku":"9780823263561","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_619ed912-5b67-49df-bd4e-c5658ed4c1e3.jpg?v=1778731991","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/divine-enjoyment-elaine-padilla-9780823263561","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
