This panel will explore how the Trinity and the body, two fundamental concepts in various Christian traditions, have been related and discussed by different theologians over the course of the past two millennia. Thus, the panel welcomes proposals dealing with various aspects of the topic of the body and the Trinity in a historical perspective from the early patristic period to the twentieth century. Therefore, the papers might focus on a single Christian theologian (e.g., Ephrem the Syrian, Augustine, or Gregory Palamas) or a whole group (e.g., the Cappadocians, early scholastic theologians), which can be taken as a representative for a major trend in the field of Church history. Furthermore, the panel aims to explore how the topic of the Trinity and the body has been treated by different female theologians throughout the centuries, such as Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Ávila, and Elisabeth Behr-Sigel. We also encourage papers on art representation of the Trinity and the Body in a variety of art traditions (e.g., Western medieval as well as Byzantine religious art) and the theological implications, which this question brings. We have planned that the high quality papers presented at this papel will be submitted for publication in a collected volume.
