Summary/Abstract: The article presents the problem of the natural and supernatural transformation of the human body according to Hans-Eduard Hengstenberg. This problem was considered in the following aspects: what is this transformation and what is it, what is its basis and sources, to what extent it is possible and how it is realized. The specificity of the supernatural transformation of the body is emphasized, resulting from its qualitative difference and superiority in relation to the natural transformation and from its further existence after death in the body as a manifestation of the spirit. Some analogies between the natural and supernatural transformation of the body are presented. The subject matter presented (especially the supernatural transformation) touches upon the field of theology, but Hengstenberg analyzed it philosophically, using the phenomenological-metaphysical method. At the end, specific areas of further research on the issue of corporeality in the works of this outstanding thinker are outlined.
