Two areas of theological research beginning to bloom in Protestant and Evangelical contexts are theological aesthetics and theology of the body. Some strong examples of the former can be found in Jonathan King’s work The Beauty of the Lord: Theology as Aesthetics and Samuel Parkinson’s Irresistible Beauty: Beholding Triune Glory in the Face of Jesus Christ, and some strong examples of the latter can be found in John Kleinig’s Wonderfully Made: Toward a Protestant Theology of the Body, and W. David O Taylor’s A Body of Praise: Understanding the Role of Our Physical Bodies in Worship. We must ask, however, how do these two loci of systematic theology relate to each other, and can they serve to build each other up? Moreover, are there any resources from biblical studies that can serve to build such a connection? I propose that one avenue of research that can contribute to these questions is found in a biblical-theological approach to Paul’s application of the temple-motif to the human body. In doing so, this project builds upon the work of Herman Ridderbos, Paul Jewett, Robert Gundry, and others that has established the vital Pauline distinction between σῶμα and σάρξ within Christian theological anthropology, along with the insights from Geerhardus Vos, Meredith Kline, and G.K. Beale as it pertains to the significance of the temple-motif throughout Scripture. Combining these aspects of Pauline scholarship and biblical-theology, we can gain new insights into theological anthropology as informed by Scripture’s temple-motif, especially when the temple is described in explicitly aesthetic terms. By analyzing Paul’s application of temple imagery to the human body in 1 Corinthians 6:12–20 and 2 Corinthians 5:1–4, biblical-theologically informed by the descriptions of the aesthetic qualities of the tabernacle and temple in the Old Testament, we find a foundation for a uniquely aesthetic anthropology that emphasizes the objective beauty of the embodied image-bearer of God. Putting the argument concisely, if it is the case that Paul positively relates the body (or aspects of it) and the temple, and the temple manifests outward beauty and glory, then the human body must be beautiful in some sense that is theologically and anthropologically established. This proposal therefore not only seeks to contribute to New Testament studies, but also attempts to make constructive efforts in the realm of systematic theology, specifically theological anthropology.
