Paper Summary:
A detailed analysis of the crucifixion of Christ. The author concentrates on the symbolism of the body of Christ during the crucifixion. It also looks at the importance and meaning that this created for the understanding and the conception of the human body during this time (in art and literature) and later on for the Christian religion and faith.From the Paper:
"The symbolism of the body of Christ during the passion was the most influential and striking image during our later Medieval to the early modern period. The pain and wracking influence of the passion was so engrained on each person, through art, and through the constant images of crucifixion and pain that they viewed from day to day. This body held so much symbolism, each nook and cranny, and the importance of every wound. Because of this the manner in which the body of Christ is represented in art and literature is vitally important to understanding the conception of the human body during this time and the conception of the religion of these people."More papers on The Body of Christ:

May 19, 2001 I have a Bachelors degree from the University of London in History and English, I am currently enrolled in Oxford University for my MA in Modern History, at which point I think I shall go on to get my Doctorate from either Oxford or Harvard. My area of expertise is British History and Literature, as I received my Bachelors in History and English from the University of London, and most especially anything to do with Shakespeare or any other Renaissance or later period authors as well. My history is mostly medieval with a few modern or ancient essays as well. Cheers, Gerard
