He asserts that the profound experience of wonder involves an expansion of the human being through an abundance that permeates the world. This openness leads to a transformative receptivity as the foundation of the individual and to an extravagant Generosity that underpins all creation. Consequently, wonder, rooted in generous Excess, is not merely a gift but also a demand: it necessitates a liberating praxis that resists the forces that flatten the richness of life into what is deemed 'useful and profitable' and that diminish the boundless worth of fellow human beings to mere commodities to be exploited and exchanged at the altar of the idolatrous 'Market. Wonder unveils a primordial receptivity within the human person, which demands of us an ethic of sustainability that does not reduce the other to a commodity, a vulnerability that risks being opened by the other, a commitment to solidarity and liberation that resist the forces of an insatiable, idolatrous Market that seeks \"only to steal and kill and destroy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 486g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 158 x 237 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793637482\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jose Francisco, Assistant Professor of Latinx Studies and Religion, Chicago Theological Sem Morales Torres","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47482037043450,"sku":"9781793637482","price":85.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1751638420029_book.jpg?v=1751754934","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/wonder-as-a-new-starting-point-for-theological-anthropology-opened-by-the-world-9781793637482","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
