Abstract

Abstract: Informed by body phenomenology and contemporary concepts of the social body, this article aims to interpret the particular movements and transformations of Jesus’ body as presented in the Gospel of Luke. From the outset Jesus’ body is inscribed in a Jewish genealogy. Likewise, the Gospel depicts the character of Jesus via the various landscapes he passes through as well as through the social interactions of which he is a part. While Jesus’ body is initially described as being energized by the mobile presence of the Spirit, it increasingly closes in and, at the end, simply disappears. Luke describes Jesus’ ascension and resurrection as radical transformations of Jesus’ body, by which Jesus’ body‐and‐mind (Leib) extends into a social body, at home in God as well as among his followers. This social body also crosses the genetic and cultural boundaries between Jews and Gentiles. Only through this extensiveness can Jesus’ body become accessible worldwide.

  • Jesus is God's representative on earth, and through him God's presence on earth is presented.

  • With Jesus' ascension and resurrection, Jesus' body and mind were drastically transformed into and extended as a social body, at home in God and universally accessible.

    “With Jesus' ascension and resurrection, Jesus' body and mind were drastically transformed into and extended as a social body, which is at home in God and universally accessible (Gregersen 2012:234).”

  • Jesus, as a body for others, is in the midst of the church, especially in the Eucharist; sharing in Jesus' humanity and the broken bread brings us into bodily relationship and unity as one body in Christ.

    “As indicated above, Jesus, as a body for others, is in the midst of the church, especially with the Eucharist (Gregersen 2012:243; cf. Harren 2009). 'The sharing of Jesus in our humanity and our receiving and sharing the broken bread, brings us into bodily relationship and unity: we are one body in Christ' (Naylor 1996).”

    From The radical embodiment of God for a Christology of a new era (2019) · cites this paper as Gregersen 2012:243

  • Deep incarnation presupposes a wide-scope view of incarnation focusing on the extended mind of Jesus, constituted by landscapes, birds, lilies, and human groups.

    “deep incarnation presupposes a wide-scope view of incarnation by focusing on the extended mind of Jesus, constituted by the landscapes in which he is placed, the birds in the sky, the lilies in the field, and many human groups and fractions that he - like us today - meet along our ways”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
