With a question from the traditional and stodgy-seeming Baltimore Catechism as the epigraph of each chapter, this book addresses religious questions traditionally dismissed by philosophy.

Individual chapters take up the issues of the one and the many, original sin, forgiveness, love and its connection to mortality, the relics and bodies of saints, and the doctrine of bodily resurrection. These chapters are framed by considerations of fragmenting and re-collecting as central to the time of writing. The theological considerations presented here lead not to the security of an everlasting, indivisible soul dwelling comfortably in the presence of a paternal deity but to a more complicated, less neatly bounded, and perpetually peculiar and paradoxical life in the flesh.
