Immortality A Rational Faith: The Predictions Of Science, Philosophy And Religion On A Future Life is a book written by William Chester and published in 1903. The book explores the concept of immortality from the perspective of science, philosophy, and religion. Chester argues that the belief in an afterlife is rational and supported by evidence from these three fields. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of the topic. The first chapter discusses the historical and cultural context of belief in immortality, while the second chapter explores the scientific evidence for an afterlife. The third chapter delves into the philosophical arguments for immortality, and the fourth chapter examines the religious perspectives on the topic.Chester draws on a wide range of sources to support his arguments, including scientific studies, philosophical treatises, and religious texts. He argues that the evidence from these sources points towards the existence of an afterlife, and that belief in immortality is a rational and reasonable position to hold.Overall, Immortality A Rational Faith: The Predictions Of Science, Philosophy And Religion On A Future Life is a thought-provoking exploration of a topic that has fascinated humans for centuries. It provides a comprehensive overview of the evidence and arguments for immortality, and will be of interest to anyone interested in the intersection of science, philosophy, and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The only absolute certainty in this life is that each individual must die, and that at any moment. The one question, therefore, of first and transcendent importance is, If a man die, shall he live again? All other questions seem secondary to, or dependent upon this one. Neglect or evade this problem as men will, yet the deaths of beloved ones and ones own steadily approaching crisis force home the question sooner or later to every heart. Fortunately, the majority are born with the tendency of taking immortality for granted. The readiness with which the child accepts instantly the teaching that the dead are only translated, is one of the many proofs that this truth is a soul instinct, God sself-impression on the human spirit.
