Abstract :
The Judaeo-Christian belief in the general resurrection has long beentroubled by the issue of personal identity, but prior to the advent of such concernsthere existed a cognate concern about the identity not of the resurrected person, butof the resurrected person’s body. Although this latter issue has exercised scholars ofvarious ages, concern with it was particularly keen in early modern times. In thispaper I chart the various ways bodily identity was conceived by early modernthinkers in connection with the resurrection, as well as the key objections theircontemporaries developed in response
