Episode Synopsis

“Scripture, tradition, reason, experience: all point to the value of body acceptance, not to the virtue of body shame. Some argue that church tradition doesn’t corroborate the experience of body acceptance. No, the modern church’s tradition certainly doesn’t. But the early church’s rejection of a Gnostic devaluation of the human body says otherwise. Its outdoor nude baptisms say so even louder! To return to the experiential, rational, Biblical, body-friendly viewpoint of early church would indeed be against the modern church’s taboo of body shame, but in full accord with orthodox Christian theology.” — David L.
