| Summary: | The interpretations of the Pauline expression «spiritual body» (1Cor 15,44) can be indicative to verify the relations between Origen and the Antiochene tradition. After shortly examining such a definition in works of both the contexts, this article summarizes the exterior characteristics of the «spiritual body». Are respectively dealt with: its link to the earthly body, the transformation process that led to it. Noticeable analogies have emerged in the importance given to the physical sphere; Antiochene writers, particularly John Chrysostom, give however more importance to moral differences between individual bodies, partly negating theories about a material replacement of particles and collocating the «spiritual body» in a more detached view, that the seed metaphor doesn't express yet completely. The culture after Origen is oriented to a generalized condemnation of «chair», in a more static and not gradual view of the body conditions; but the basic role of Origenian thought about body consistence and transformations is evident. |
