Subject: GRAVE ESCATHOLOGICAL MORTIFICATION |
Bible Note: Hi Jaclyn, "Christian eschatology, a way of thinking already historicized by the end of the New Testament, provides a powerful framework that may include and disposses mystical thought of its irreductible particularities. The "immortality of the body" in eschatological thought amounts to mortification, with the difference that one does not find an Egyptian mummy in a "post-apocalyptic pyramid": here the body is mortified by omission. In Christian terms, an "eschatological body" is utter nonsense. As the Christian apocalyptic thought focuses on the moral aspects of the Last Judgment, the body is relegated to a space that is absent from Christian discourse." CORPUS EPOCHALIS - MYSTICISM, BODY, HISTORY Calin Mihailescu If I understand this correctly, and to be honest it seems way over my head, this writer is saying that God's final disposition of man is purely spiritual, therefore the physical body is done away with. Does that sound like what you were looking for? You can read more at: http://pum12.pum.umontreal.ca/revues/surfaces/vol1/mihaile.html. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
