The Body: Discipleship of our PhysicalityKeywords: Body,image,likeness,work,technology,nice flesh,addiction,training Abstract: Christian discipleship acknowledges the importance of the body for a holistic response to God’s redemption for all of life. The biblical view shows a Christian’s body and soul as a sacred unit that demands responsible stewardship. Often, however, the body is an arena where sin and righteousness struggle with habitual inclinations toward destructive rather than life-nurturing behaviors. Spiritual formation aimed at Christlikeness is crucial for the conquering of battles faced by Christians of all ages
