Die Leib-Christi-Metaphorik ist in Christologie und Ekklesiologie besonders wirkmächtig – bis heute. Das zeigt sich an den einflussreichen Körperbildern und vielschichtigen Konstruktionen von Geschlecht, die mit dem »Leib Christi« verbunden werden. Die Rede vom »Leib Christi« ist nicht »unschuldig«, denn durch sie werden auch Vorstellungen von Körperlichkeit und Geschlecht in der Theologie verankert und legitimiert. Expert(inn)en aus den USA, Großbritannien und Deutschland gehen den Funktionen und Implikationen der Leib-Christi-Metapher nach, und sie sensibilisieren dafür, sowohl die Potenziale als auch die Probleme der Leib Christi-Metaphorik wahrzunehmen. In den christlich-theologischen und religionswissenschaftlichen Analysen, u. a. der Theologien Karl Rahners, Joseph Ratzingers, Hans Urs von Balthasars und Jon Sobrinos, wird gefragt, wie tragfähig die Leib-Christi-Metapher heute noch sein kann.

"The Broadway Body I lied about my height on my résumé the entire time I was a dancer, though in truth I don't think the extra inch ever actually made a difference. In the US, 5'6" still reads as short for a man no matter how you slice it. The reason for my deception was that height was often the reason I was disqualified: choreographers often wanted taller male dancers for the ensemble and listed a minimum height requirement (often 5'11" and up) in the casting breakdown. Being disqualified before I could even set foot in the audition because I possessed an unchangeable physical characteristic that often made me unemployable in the industry. I was learning an object lesson in Broadway's body politics-and, of course, had I not been a white cisgender nondisabled man, the barriers to employment would have been compounded even further. I wasn't alone in feeling caught in a catch-22. Not being cast because of your appearance, or "type" in industry lingo, is casting's status quo. The casting process openly discriminates based upon appearance. This truism even made its way into a song cut from A Chorus Line (1975) called "Broadway Boogie Woogie," which comically lists all of the reasons one might not be cast: "I'm much too tall, much too short, much too thin/Much too fat, much too young for the role/I sing too high, sing too low, sing too loud." Funny Girl (1964) put it even more bluntly: "If a Girl Isn't Pretty/Like a Miss Atlantic City/She should dump the stage/And try another route"--
