Christianity, like most religions, has all kinds of rules that govern food and sex: what goes in and out of women's orifices, in other words.Eve’s tale, documented in the Book of Genesis, is well known. Lured by the serpent, she bit into an apple. It’s what she did next that is the key to understanding how shame became associated with women’s bodies: ‘She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.’ This temptation of Adam led to the downfall of humanity, and this original sin is the original source of our mistrust of bodies, especially female bodies.

She has research partnerships with colleagues in the USA and Latin America. WOMEN’S BODIES are central to both these books. In The Fat Jesus, Lisa Isherwood explores women’s fatness and thinness. In Controversies in Body Theology, a range of authors cover topics around the theme of slicing, mutilation, reconstruction, and cosmetic alteration.
