Born again bodies: flesh and spirit in American Christianity. [R Marie Griffith] -- 'Born Again Bodies' explores a modern manifestation of religious asceticism. Using literature with titles such as 'What Would Jesus Eat?' the promoters of Christian diet programmes are enrolling. In Born Again Bodies: Flesh and Spirit in American Christianity, R. Marie Griffith shows that these religious undertones of secular obsessions with thinness and proper diet are not accidental. She also demonstrates the influence of new religious movements such as the Shakers, Christian Science, and New Thought on mainstream U.S. views of mind and body relationships. Written with style and wit, far ranging in its implications, and rich with the stories of real people, "Born Again Bodies" launches a provocative yet sensitive investigation into Christian fitness and diet culture.
