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. 410 0$aAshgate studies in philosophy & theology in late antiquity. 606 $aHuman body$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 606 $aTheological anthropology$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 606 $aAsceticism$xHistory$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman body$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aTheological anthropology$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aAsceticism$xHistory 676 $a233/.509 700 $aHunt$b Hannah$0854487 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462302903321 996 $aClothed in the body$92252726 997 $aUNINA
