About this book
A classic of medieval studies, this book 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.

Reviews
A masterful work of intellectual history.
[A] fascinating and wide-ranging account that tells us a lot about medieval thinking and practice.
There are few historians of whom one can say that they have actually shifted some of the landscape of the writing of history in their own generation, but Bynum is one of them.
