Resurrection or replica?

A more common, and more plausible, strategy has been to accept that there will be some mixing of the basic matter out of which we are made, and to accept the consequence that God would have to use new atoms when resurrecting us. As Brown puts it, ‘our eternal existence would not be the continuation of some aspect of our current embodiment but would be a new creation, outside of the time and space we currently occupy’.10 This invites the question: would the resulting person be a resurrection or a replica?
