Statuto del Corpo E Annuncio Di Salvezza. 2: Dalle Memorie Di Gesu Agli Apporti Dei Primi Maestri Neoplatonici

This book, titled "Statuto del corpo e annuncio di salvezza - II" by Giorgio Camassa, delves into the concepts of body and salvation from the memories of Jesus to the contributions of early Neoplatonic teachers. It explores historical developments, focusing on health and salvation as depicted by Luke and examines the intersection of body and salvation within a new world order. The discussion extends to various interpretations of bodily estrangement from Adam and Eve's story in Jewish literature and continues with the transformation of the body into a spiritual entity as described by Paul and John. The work highlights ambivalence towards the body and the overall anthropological stance of early Christian thought from the 1st to the 2nd century AD, including critiques from figures like Celsus and Origen and the perspectives of Plotinus and Porphyry on salvation.
