The Resurrection of the Body in Western Christianity, 200-1336 Paperback / softback
by Caroline Walker Bynum
Part of the American Lectures on the History of Religions series
Paperback / softback
Description
A classic of medieval studies, The Resurrection of the Body in Western Christianity, 200-1336 traces ideas of death and resurrection in early and medieval Christianity.
Caroline Walker Bynum explores problems of the body and identity in devotional and theological literature, suggesting that medieval attitudes toward the body still shape modern notions of the individual.
This expanded edition includes her 1995 article "Why All the Fuss About the Body?
A Medievalist's Perspective," which takes a broader perspective on the book's themes.
It also includes a new introduction, which discusses the context in which the book and article were written and why the Middle Ages matter for how we think about the body and life after death today.
