This book s relational theology analogically unfolds a view of a God of enjoyment whose exuberant passion contains the traces of suffering, yearning, permeability, intensity, and impropriety. God, in affectively embracing all living beings, takes on their form, and in incarnating the divine self as hospitable pleasure, vivifies the cosmos.
