Triplex modus corporis Christi – u rekonstrukciji radikalne ortodoksije
Triplex modus corporis Christi – in reconstruction of radical orthodoxy

Summary/Abstract: Modern theology has lost its medieval vision of triplex modus corporis Christi (the three-fold nature of Christ’s body). In his theological research, Henry de Lubac resolves in several points the doctrine of the three-fold nature of Christ’s body that mentions soma typicum, corpus mysticum and corpus verum. Soma typicum is typological, the individual body of Christ, and also the body of the text of his Word, corpus mysticum is referring to the eucharistic body, while corpus verum is referring to the church. In early modernity, these three parts had transferred into two which existed in conflict. Radical orthodoxy is convinced that the basic problem of modern theology is that one body “disappears”. This essay endeavors to show how radical orthodoxy understands the actualization of the incarnation today. I will try to show how Graham Word understands soma typicum. After that, I will present the main determinants of the corpus mysticum the way Catherine Pickstock presented them, as well as corpus verum as presented by John Milbank. In the conclusion, I want to emphasize the importance and the political relevance of the discourse as advocated by radical orthodoxy, which indirectly relates to the doctrine of the incarnation.
