초록
Human beings have been created as fully embodied beings—that is, ensouled bodily beings—for the purpose of manifesting God’s purposes on earth. However, throughout church history, a sort of gnostic dualism has persisted, whereby body-soul dichotomy has been understood in terms of the exaltation of the soul at the expense of the body. This dualistic tendency, enhanced by rationalism, secularism, and technologism, has led to the devaluation of the bodily dimension and the advocacy of a disembodied reality, which Charles Taylor refers to as “excarnation.” Such excarnational tendencies counter the biblical Christianity—which highly affirms the human body by virtue of its creation, Christ's incarnation, and our future resurrection. Thus, it is imperative for the church to take the initiative to deeply examine these issues and to promote a truly biblical and dynamic view of human body. The purpose of this thesis, is to investigate the significance of human body and its implications for Christian spirituality and mission. The outline of the thesis is as follows: (1) Problematic Human Body (in relation to historical tendency); (2) Affirmed Human Body (in relation to biblical revelation); (3) Epistemic Human Body (in relation to spiritual knowledge); (4) Expressive Human Body (in relation to art/culture); (5) Sensible Human Body (in relation to cyber-technology); and (6) Agentive Human Body (in relation to kingdom mission).
Abstract
Human beings have been created as fully embodied beings—that is, ensouled bodily beings—for the purpose of manifesting God’s purposes on earth. However, throughout church history, a sort of gnostic dualism has persisted, whereby body-soul dichotomy has been understood in terms of the exaltation of the soul at the expense of the body. This dualistic tendency, enhanced by rationalism, secularism, and technologism, has led to the devaluation of the bodily dimension and the advocacy of a disembodied reality, which Charles Taylor refers to as “excarnation.” Such excarnational tendencies counter the biblical Christianity—which highly affirms the human body by virtue of its creation, Christ's incarnation, and our future resurrection. Thus, it is imperative for the church to take the initiative to deeply examine these issues and to promote a truly biblical and dynamic view of human body. The purpose of this thesis, is to investigate the significance of human body and its implications for Christian spirituality and mission. The outline of the thesis is as follows: (1) Problematic Human Body (in relation to historical tendency); (2) Affirmed Human Body (in relation to biblical revelation); (3) Epistemic Human Body (in relation to spiritual knowledge); (4) Expressive Human Body (in relation to art/culture); (5) Sensible Human Body (in relation to cyber-technology); and (6) Agentive Human Body (in relation to kingdom mission).
