The Resurrection of the Same Numerical Body, and Its Reunion to the Same Soul: Asserted in a Sermon Preached Before the University of Oxford, at St. ... Personality and Identity Are Confuted, and t - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore a 1725 Oxford sermon that tackles identity, the soul, and the body in the face of resurrection.
This nonfiction work engages with classical debates on personality and whether mind and matter stay the same across death. It debates ideas attributed to a contemporary philosopher and presents a careful theological response, grounded in Scripture and religious duty. The text offers a window into early modern discussions about what makes a person who they are and how bodily continuity relates to personal identity.
- Clear, accessible discussion of identity, consciousness, and the soul in a historical context.
- Arguments set against competing notions of personal continuity and resurrection.
- Explanations of how biblical passages are interpreted in regard to the body and spirit.
- A glimpse into eighteenth‑century sermon‑based argumentation on life after death.

The Resurrection of the Same Numerical Body, and Its Reunion to the Same Soul
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into identity, the nature of personhood, and the identity of the body. The author builds upon the philosophical writings of the past, particularly Plato, Aristotle, and Locke, to provide a comprehensive theory on personal identity and resurrection. The author argues against two popular theories: the Lockean theory which places identity in consciousness and the Cartesian theory which places identity in the soul. Instead, the author argues that the body is an integral part of personhood, and there can be no resurrection that does not include the body. Resurrection is not only possible but necessary because it is the means by which we can fulfill our telos, or purpose. We were not meant for this life alone. We are meant to live in communion with God. This elevated understanding of resurrection gives the Christian hope a new depth and meaning, allowing each individual to be fully known and loved in the body, soul, and spirit.
