THE UNITY OF BODY AND SOUL IN PATRISTIC AND BYZ...

This volume explores the long-standing tensions between such notions as soul and body  spirit
and flesh  in the context of human immortality and bodily resurrection. The discussion revolves
around late antique views on the resurrected human body and the relevant philosophical  medical
and theological notions that formed the background for this topic. Soon after the issue of the
divine-human body had been problematised by Christianity  it began to drift away from vast
metaphysical deliberations into a sphere of more specialized bodily concepts  developed in
ancient medicine and other natural sciences. To capture the main trends of this
interdisciplinary dialogue  the contributions in this volume range from the 2nd to the 8th
centuries CE  and discuss an array of figures and topics  including Justin  Origen  Bardais·an
and Gregory of Nyssa.
