Hunt examines the apparent paradox that Jesus' earthly existence and post resurrection appearances are experienced through consummately physical actions and attributes yet some ascetics within the Christian tradition appear to seek to deny the value of the human body, to find it deadening of spiritual life. Hunt considers why the Christian tradition as a whole has rarely managed more than an uneasy truce between the physical and the spiritual aspects of the human person. Why is it that the 'Church' has energetically argued, through centuries of ecumenical councils, for the dual nature of Christ but seems still unwilling to accept the full integration of physical and spiritual within humanity, despite Gregory of Nazianzus's comment that 'what has not been assumed has not been redeemed'?
Henry is bored so Cleo suggests he find a friend but he doesn't know what a friend is.
"John Hunt was a Wesleyan missionary in Fiji for just a decade, 1839-1848. Nevetheless his work was of such impact that he ensured the eventual conversion of the Fijians to Christianity. [This book] examines Hunt's upbringing and training in England, his marriage to Hannah Summers and their time of missionary work in Fiji. Surrounded constantly by the vitality and prosperity of a warlike yet welcoming people, Hunt introduced Western ideals of education and medicine togetrher with the religious and ethical principles of Christianity. His theological forms of education in Fiji as well as his many translations, including the first Fijian New testament, are enduring testimonies to his work."--Back cover
