What theology needs is more copulation. And postmodern theopoetics may well provide it.
The word copulation, of course, denotes coupling: the bringing together and/or union of two things. The related words “copula” and “copulative” are grammatical terms, used to describe the linking of elements in a sentence. How unfortunate, then, that the fertile term copulation has been reduced in meaning, often with the limited connotation of animal(istic) sex.
In the sixteenth century, however, copulation was still robust, the word used not only for sex and grammar, but also for theology. The OED exemplifies the word’s breadth with an illustration from 1548: “The wonderful copulation of the sayed nature vnto ours by his incarnation.” The dictionary’s example from 1623 implies that the copulation of divine and human in the Christ-event elicits copulation on the part of Christ’s followers: “The copulation of a living faith and obedience together.”
