Leiblichkeit in theologischer Perspektive

Leiblichkeit in theologischer Perspektive

Theology and philosophy are faced with the task of recovering an appropriate concept of corporeality & not least in the face of challenges raised by our society=s focus on the body and a ? corporeal turn= in many areas of science and scholarship. Decisive inspirations for gaining a theological perspective on the topic are drawn from Old Testament conceptions of the soul as corporeal and of the heart as having a capacity for orientation, as well as St Paul=s principle that it is the body that gives salvation a location and a shape in secular reality.
