The Unity of Body and ­Soul in Patristic and ­Byzantine Thought
Contexts of Ancient and Medieval Anthropology
By Anna Usacheva (Volume Editor), Jörg Ulrich (Volume Editor), Siam Bhayro (Volume Editor)

Rating
Format
Hardback, 292 pages
Published
United States, 1 January 2021

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.
