But until recently little scholarly writing exists that directly engages the topic of religion in her corpus. \u003ci\u003eWords Made Flesh \u003c\/i\u003eseeks to fill this gap by focusing exclusively on religion, religions, and religiosity in her work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing together scholars that provide a wide variety of theoretical perspectives on religion, political theology, social theory, and science studies, this book offers an in-depth engagement with one of the most innovative and important thinkers of the last forty years and illustrates how Wynter's writing has significant implications for the study of religion and religion's relationship to colonialism, race, humanism, science, and political theology.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJustine Bakker (Edited By) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJustine M.
