Hellenistic insights into the human person -- Biblical understandings of flesh, body and soul -- Desert teachings on the body and asceticism -- "Virgins of God": manly women and transvestite saints -- "Enemy" or "friend": Climacus's integration of the body -- The Syrian perspective on asceticism -- Key Syrian sources: apocrypha and anonymity -- Pseudo-Macarius, Messalianism and synaesthesia -- "Clothed in the body" as a metaphor for incarnation -- Heterodox christologies and the heresiarchs -- Orthodox patristic formulations.

Sommario/riassunto

This book explores religious anthropology and asceticism from its biblical and desert roots and within eastern patristic writers including Ephrem, Pseudo-Macarius and Climacus. Hunt examines the apparent paradox that Jesus' earthly existence and post resurrection appearances are experienced through consummately physical actions and attributes yet some ascetics within the Christian tradition appear to seek to deny the value of the human body, to find it deadening of spiritual life.

Sommario/riassunto

This is the very first comprehensive coverage of pharmacogenomics - a new discipline that will revolutionize health care.Pharmacogenomics leads to the understanding of the key genetic differences between individuals and will permit the individual tailoring of pharmacological treatments. Improved therapeutics can reach new levels by being able to differentiate between individuals according to their susceptibility to disease processes or adverse effects of medication. Pharmacogenomics also contributes to the discovery of new targets for drug development.Outstanding experts in the field p
