Rev. John Parker, Fr. Dumitru Staniloae
In two classic texts, the Rev. John Parker lays out arguments in favor of the authentic Dionysian authorship of the Dionysian corpus, asking whether the author was influenced by the Alexandrian School and Neoplatonism, or rather, was it vice versa?
Through the Cross, Christ sanctified His body—the link with the world. He rejected the temptations sent to Him by the world, that is to taste the pleasures, to satisfy His needs unrestrained or to avoid pain and death. If we, in the same way, ward off the temptations of sin and patiently suffer the pain of death, sanctity can spread from His body to all bodies and throughout the world.
