(see JPII's favorite line from Vatican II, Gaudium et Spes 22)<BR/><BR/>When you think of that in the context of the fact that Jesus took on ("ahnehmen") a body so He could, in a specific way, make a total gift of Himself...now you're rubbing TOB sticks together!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971889853829353441.post-61499666888110102202009-01-23T16:19:00.000+01:002009-01-23T16:19:00.000+01:00I've also done next to no study of the "Theology o...I've also done next to no study of the "Theology of the Body", but I would guess that you are right as to the relation between the two. <BR/><BR/>I suppose that the "image of God" class will focus more on man's spiritual powers, while the "theology of the body" class would treat more of the body.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010832609654897858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971889853829353441.post-1398589659880148582009-01-23T14:59:00.000+01:002009-01-23T14:59:00.000+01:00Not having done extensive study of the discipline ...Not having done extensive study of the discipline being termed "Theology of the Body", I will defer to your judgement; it seems, though, that "man as the image of God" must significantly inform the whole "Theology of the Body" study.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971889853829353441.post-89115398803484625102009-01-21T21:17:00.000+01:002009-01-21T21:17:00.000+01:00Sorry to disappoint :)The "Mystery of the Word Inc...Sorry to disappoint :)<BR/><BR/>The "Mystery of the Word Incarnate" class, however, looks to be a good option in that regard.<BR/><BR/>This would be only theological anthropology II (on man as the image of God); theological anthropology III is "spousal meaning of the body"<BR/><BR/>The readings for this one are a smattering of Fathers, some 10 qq. from the Summa, and then some samples of various moderns.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010832609654897858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971889853829353441.post-30395421673900416932009-01-21T20:51:00.000+01:002009-01-21T20:51:00.000+01:00I was hoping to substitute in a few visits to your...I was hoping to substitute in a few visits to your Patrology class to make up for missing two sessions of the Dead Theologians.
