Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1. Pain: Groans and Birth Pangs of the Divine Enjoyment -- 2. Yearning: Traces of the Divine Erotic Existence in the Cosmos -- 3. Permeability: The Open Wounds of the Lovers’ Flesh -- 4. Intensity: Passionate Becomings of the Divine Complex -- 5. Impropriety: Incarnations of Carnivalesque Passion and Open- Ended Boundaries -- Notes -- Selected Bibliography -- Index
Summary: This 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.Divine 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 formsWith 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.
