This paper proposes a synthesis of Christological and pneumatological insights to present a more inclusive vision of creation’s role in divine worship and redemption. While deep incarnation emphasizes Christ’s identification with all of creation, this study extends the discussion by incorporating the Spirit’s ongoing work through the framework of animal glossolalia. Nonhuman creatures are seen not merely as passive recipients of Christ’s redemptive work but as active participants in cosmic worship through the Spirit’s intercession. By uniting the shared flesh of Christ with the Spirit’s transformative presence, the paper suggests a more integrated theological vision that includes all living beings in the divine narrative. This approach invites us to reconsider the role of animals within a broader ecological and theological framework, urging a reimagining of their spiritual capacities and their place in the eschatological hope for the renewal of all creation.

This article presents a constructive dialogue between contemporary theological phenomenology and systematic theology. It considers the writings of the French phenomenologist Emmanuel Falque by offering a precis of his unique approach to “crossing” the boundaries of theology and philosophy. This methodological innovation serves as an intervention into contemporary theological phenomenology, which allows him to propose an overlooked dimension of human corporeality, what he calls the spread-body (corps épandu). Within the latter is embedded a conception of bodily existence that escapes ratiocination and is comprised of chaotic forces, drives, desires, and animality. The article challenges not so much this philosophical description but rather suggests that Falque’s theological resolution to this subterranean dimension of corporeal life consists in a deus ex machina that re-orders these corporeal forces without remainder through participation in the eucharist. It argues that Falque’s notion of the spread body can be supplemented theologically by an account of ‘affectivity’ that is distinguished from auto-affection, as in the case of Michel Henry, and which also gleans from the field of affect theory. This supplementation is derived from current research in systematic theology, which looks at the doctrines of pneumatology and sanctification to offer a more plausible account of corporeality in light of the Christian experience of the affective body.
