Author: DAVIS, CHARLES.
Title: Body as Spirit. The Nature of Religious Feeling.
Description: London: Hodder and Stoughton,1976. 1st ed. "The key to Mr Davis' work lies in the distinction he offers between sensuousness and sensuality. Sensuousness, he insists, is the act of participating in the spontaneous rhythms and responses of the body with its joys and delights as well as its pain and stress. Sensuousness in fact implies a sacramental, mystical view of the world. Far from being an enslaving subjection of the mind to bodily impulses, like sensuality, sensuousness is a total response to reality coming from the unity of the self as an embodied person." Pp.181 . Black cloth, d/w. G+/VG.
