El cuerpo de Cristo y sus implicaciones : aportes para la liturgia

Abstract

An analysis of the double concept of Christ's body as Church and as Eucharist from Paul's letters to the Romans and 1 Corinthians. In the first part an approach to the concept of swμa and its relation with the Church will be discussed. The Church as body with its unity in Christ in midst of the diversity of its members. In the second part presenting an approximation to the concept koinonia and the relation of this with the Eucharist as participation in the presence of Christ in the celebration and the bread is treated. Studying Eucharist as participation in Christ, the problems in Corinth will be the basis for the interrelationship between the Church and the Eucharist, presenting a mutual agreement of existence and experience. In the last part implications will be presented for the life in community and worship with the prominence of the significance of the application of koinonia and being Christ's body as much within the Church as beyond its borders and the practice of responsibility as Christ's body in the society and to history in relation to the areas of justice and dignity.
