Collective Physicalism
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 January 2025
Scholars on Hilary have been uniquely open to and accepting of the presence of physicalist soteriology in Hilary’s thought. Hilary presents a corporate physicalism in which all humans exist in Christ’s incarnate body apart from, and prior to, any individual willing or choice, and this existence in Christ’s body gives eternal incorruptibility to all humans. However, Hilary presents salvation not merely as incorruptibility but as a complete and never-ending mutual indwelling of individuals and Christ. The physicalist existence of humans in Christ’s body is the necessary foundation of this permanent mutual indwelling, but the choices of each individual either enable or reject it.
