"Perhaps more than ever before, our world is devoted to treating the body as a task, as a project to be completed. From Tim Ferris’s The Four-Hour Body to do-it-yourself transhumanism to the mainstreaming of cosmetic plastic surgery, we are relentlessly occupied with the pursuit of perfecting the body according to the pattern that has been given to us in Hollywood and elsewhere. The shape of holiness has many imitators, and in a technologically sophisticated affluent culture such as ours, bodily perfection is among the most seductive."
— Matthew Lee Anderson, author of Earthen Vessels: Why Our Bodies Matter to Our Faith.
