The Ascension of Jesus Christ: a theological investigation through liturgy, ritual and the cultural arts

对化身的态度不仅通过哲学话语表达，还通过仪式表达，仪式解释了我们身体的局限性和可能性，它们的相互联系，以及它们与超越的“他者”的关系。在基督教中，关于耶稣基督的生、死、复活和升天的仪式尤其如此。我的研究重点是基督升天的仪式探索。现有的关于扬升的学术研究很少关注这种仪式，也很少关注扬升在更广泛的文化艺术中的表现。我将把这些资料带进批判性的对话中，重新想象扬升的神学。

Attitudes to embodiment are expressed not only through philosophical discourse, but also through ritualswhich interpret our bodies' limits and possibilities, their interconnectedness, and their relationship to atranscendent 'other'. Within Christianity, this has been particularly true of rituals focused on the life,death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. My research focuses on the ritual exploration of Christ'sAscension. Existing scholarship on the Ascension has paid scant attention to such ritual, or to expressionsof the Ascension in the wider cultural arts. I will bring these sources into critical conversation, to reimaginethe theology of the Ascension.
