Kresťanstvo ako rehabilitácia tela
Christianity as a rehabilitation of the body

Summary/Abstract: This paper opens up the question of corporeality and materiality in Christian religion. In the introduction I present the basic relation of Christianity to the Hellenic culture, where the first concepts of theological thinking and spiritual dictionaries were born. Waves of dualistic spiritual tendencies have often been rising since the first centuries, always corrected by the searching for a balanced perception of the relationship between spiritual and corporal. The remaining sections of the article offer a rehabilitation of materiality and corporality, a striving that has been occurring permanently in the history of the entire theological tradition. Small subtemes are a reference to and support for the „body“, viewed not as a prison, but as a place where the spirit expresses itself.
