Sarah Coakley’s characteristically layered and learned inquiry into Christology uses brokenness as the central thread to stitch together accounts of often disparate doctrinal inquiries: the cross, liturgy, and asceticism. The brokenness of Jesus’ body on the cross moves to and through the fraction of the bread in the Eucharist. Underneath that dyad is Coakley’s abiding interest in the apophatic.
