Theology Of The Body by Jean-Claude Larchet

A concise theological study arguing that the human body is integral to salvation: created in God’s image, wounded by sin, and destined for transfiguration through Christ and the Church’s sacramental and ascetic life; drawing on Scripture, the Fathers, and liturgy, it shows how the body participates in resurrection, communion, and moral renewal, and contends that healing and sanctification of the whole person occur through prayer, sacraments, and disciplined spiritual practice.
