The  quest  for  immortality  is  probably  as  old  as  humankind  itself.  In recent decades a group of scientists and futurists who describe themselves as transhumanists has explored the possibility of uploading the human mind onto a computer as one possible way to achieve ‘immortality’. This article discusses the idea of mind uploading from the standpoint of a theological  anthropology  and eschatology. It examines the implications of mind uploading on our understanding of the relationship between the body and mind and personal identity and compares this with the christian understanding of resurrection.
