What happens to the body when it is deified? Adam G. Cooper puts this question to St Maximus the Confessor, the world's greatest master on the subject of deification. At the heart of Maximus's answer stands the transfigured body of Christ, the incarnate Word of God. In him all creation is joined to God. Through askesis and prayer, baptism and eucharist, Christ and Church, human corporeality can be transformed to become `holy flesh, wholly deified' - the transparent bearer of divine glory.
