THE ROLE OF THE UNITARY MODEL OF ANTHROPOLOGY IN PATRISTIC APOLOGETICS
2025
Overview
(ProQuest: ... denotes non-USASCII text omitted.) Debates among Christians concerning the composition of man date back to early Christianity. \"7 Gousmett, who has done some of the most significant work in this area, argues that this model, though evident in Platonism and other aspects of Greek thought, was adopted by some Christians as a result of \"decline in millennialism, rise of ascetism, and glorification of virginity and denigration of marriage, as well as an eclipse of the centrality and significance of the resurrection of the body. \"9 Its adoption by Christians coincided with the interaction of Christianity with Greek thought and seems to have been a result of an emphasis on the concept of the immortality of the soul. Thankfully, Irenaeus provides the reader with enough information to answer these questions. Since Irenaeus was defending the doctrine of bodily resurrection, consensus in scholarship is that his opponents here were the gnostic groups that had borrowed Platonic ideas concerning the body.
