| Summary: | This essay examines Thomas More's De Tristitia Christi both to observe More's nonsystematic theological method and to understand his philosophical and theological anthropology. The paper argues that More has a particular esteem, founded on his Christology, for the human body. Furthermore, his understanding of the place and dignity of the body is deepened by a series of metaphors and analogies that he employs in the text. |
