| Summary: | This paper seeks to highlight the various interpretations that, before the Second Council of Constantinople (May-June 553), many Latin Church Fathers gave on several metaphorical expressions, such as "God’s temple," "sanctuary," "tabernacle," "ark," and other similar terms referring to spaces or containers reserved for deity. To address this issue, the author of this article structures his methodology on three strategies: the first consists in a profound tracking in Patristic and theological sources to detect some relevant statements by conspicuous Christian masters on the subject; through the second, he analyzes intra-textually each found Patristic assertions to decipher the doctrinal interpretation that every Christian writer brings about such metaphors; by the third methodological strategy, he intertextually relates all these texts, and authors through a comparative analysis to highlight their possible concordances or discrepancies. |
