Abstract

One of the important theological problems is the issue of the corporeality of Christ. Especially the issue of the risen body raises a lot of controversy. Despite the dogmatic confirmation of His tangibility, the Church has been treating the attempts to physically confirm the risen body from the very beginning with some distance, which is reminiscent of the situation of „unfaithful Thomas”. Nowadays, culture manifests this corporeality, emphasizing „the way of Tomasz” as the only way to prove His presence. The modernist modernization of Christ, immersion in ordinary life, everyday life, and finally carnality, has become a hallmark of literature. The article is a proposal to describe this situation on selected examples of the novels by J.M. Coetzee, J. Saramago, B. Hrabal and I. Karpowicz.
