Discourses On The Christian Body And Form

By Cyrus Augustus Bartol

Book Overview

Discourses On The Christian Body And Form is a book written by Cyrus A. Bartol that explores the relationship between Christianity and the physical body. The book is divided into several discourses, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of the Christian body and form. The first discourse examines the idea of the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit and the importance of treating it with reverence and respect. The second discourse looks at the role of physical discipline and self-denial in Christian spirituality, while the third discourse explores the concept of beauty and its relationship to the Christian form. Subsequent discourses delve into topics such as the symbolism of the cross, the significance of baptism and communion, and the role of the church as a physical embodiment of Christ's presence on earth. Throughout the book, Bartol emphasizes the importance of the physical body in Christian theology and encourages readers to embrace their bodies as a sacred gift from God. Overall, Discourses On The Christian Body And Form offers a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between Christian spirituality and the physical body, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of faith and physicality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
