The body is the subject of much debate, sometimes the object of a kind of idolatry, sometimes mistreated. Christianity has been accused of valuing the soul at the expense of the body, which is said to be linked to sin. A careful reading of the Bible shows that man's real problem is not his body but his interiority, his heart. The body must first arouse recognition and then, with its magnificent capacities, play an eminent role in Christian service. The dignity of the body is evaluated in the light of this fact: the Son of God took on a body like ours, capable of working, suffering and dying. But there is a radiant future, not only for the Risen One, but also for the body of believers.
