Hunt examines the apparent paradox that Jesus' earthly existence
and post resurrection appearances are experienced through
consummately physical actions and attributes yet some ascetics
within the Christian tradition appear to seek to deny the value of
the human body, to find it deadening of spiritual life. Hunt
considers why the Christian tradition as a whole has rarely managed
more than an uneasy truce between the physical and the spiritual
aspects of the human person. Why is it that the 'Church' has
energetically argued, through centuries of ecumenical councils, for
the dual nature of Christ but seems still unwilling to accept the
full integration of physical and spiritual within humanity, despite
Gregory of Nazianzus's comment that 'what has not been assumed has
not been redeemed'?
