Ciało dla Pana, a Pan dla ciała (1 Kor 6, 13) – przyczynek do teologii ciała ludzkiego
Body for the Lord, and the Lord for the Body (1 Cor 6, 13) – Introduction to the Theology of the Human Body

Summary/Abstract: In these times more attention is concerned with the human body. It can be observed how human body cult is growing strongly, often detached from the real love. In this way the specific degradation of dignity of the human being follows, and narrowing of ontology as well as reduction of the human existence to the only earthy matters takes place. In some circles of the contemporary, secular Europe, some centres are developing where cult of the human body as well as the focus on bodily matters are main activities. Not to deepen the destructive process regarding the understanding of the human being and its’ body, the urgent matter is the development and propagation of Christian science concerned with the human body matters. The human being and its body cannot be depleted from what is regarded as his/her mystery and a kind of sacrum which in God has its source. Therefore the truth concerned with the creation of the man according to the God’s image and the truth about this similarity should be constantly deepened and made more public. The reason for it is because the man is the God’s image not only because of his/her spirituality but also because of his/her body. The human being belongs entirely to the God. Positive and true socialization of the human body will ensure integral view on a human being. The theology of the human body was an important part of the blessed John Paul II teachings. The theological option enables consideration of the man in his/her entire dimension. Therefore the theological understanding of what is the human body and his/her bodily matters are closely related to the theology of the human love. This work can be regarded as only signaling many aspects of the Christian understanding of the human body.
