Resurrection of the Body in Western Christianity, 200-1336

"Ms. Bynum's account is a very impressive and persuasive one. Her major thesis is clearly right; it is well supported by textual references and by connections she makes between what the ancients wrote and their burial practices, treatment of corpses and cults of relics. Even if readers find that her material does not support a general theory, they ought to concede that her book is a fascinating and wide-ranging account that tells us a lot about medieval thinking and practice."Bynum, Caroline Walker is the author of 'Resurrection of the Body in Western Christianity, 200-1336', published 1995 under ISBN 9780231081276 and ISBN 0231081278.
