The primary concern of medieval Christian eschatology concerned the issue of individual subjectivity and its constituent components, body and soul.

A purely spiritual resurrection on the pagan Greek model would not fulhl Christ s promise that by his own death and resurrection he had saved the faithful from eternal death.
