Jerome’s Contra Johannem and ps.-Basil’s De consolatione in adversis on resurrection and disabilitySynodinos, Chris (Avtor) afflictionleprosyredemptive sufferingthe resurrection of the fleshspiritual bodyresurrection bodyorigenismgarment of glorygarment of brillianceThis paper concerns disability and bodily resurrection, the latter being a topic that has bemused Christian theologians from the beginning. Specifically, this paper concerns Jerome’s treatise Contra Johannem, directed against John of Jerusalem, a putative Origenist, and De consolatione in adversis attributed to ps.-Basil. The author of Cons. was concerned with the nature of the resurrected body regarding a particular class of disabled people, viz., an audience of lepers, whereas Jerome focuses on the resurrection of the flesh in general. There is some evidence to suggest Cons. is somehow linked, even if implicitly and indirectly, to the Origenist controversy, which primarily concentrates on the nature of the resurrected body. The two prevailing related themes in Cons., to wit, leprosy, and the flesh’s resurrection, relate to the body. It is interesting that the only two codices containing this work also contain Jerome’s epistle Contra Johannem. These two works occur again in the editio princeps (Paris 1528). The significance of this thematic connection remains to be explained, and St. Jerome’s influence clarified. 20212024-10-14 10:17:46Članek v reviji163913sl
