| Summary: | The article discusses the idea of embodiment within Pentecostal theology and spirituality through an Eastern European perspective. It highlights the Pentecostal understanding of embodiment in terms of discipleship on the journey of one’s personal and communal Christoformation. In light of this assertion, the article discusses the event of the Incarnation as being paradigmatic for the Christian life of discipleship, looking into the enfleshment of the eternal Word in the Last Adam, revealing him as the telos of humanity and the rest of creation. It proceeds with reflections on the event of Pentecost and the Church as the body of Christ, and on the human and communal ecclesial body in worship. The text concludes with discussing the hallowed, sanctified body as an embodiment of the divine love and unconditional hospitality in the midst of the present world. |
