Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the natural immortality of the soul is only one of many opinions that have been held by different philosophers and theologians on the subject of human mortality. The author critiques the common assumption that the natural immortality of the soul is a fundamental belief in Christianity and presents evidence that the early Christians did not think that the souls of all men were naturally immortal but rather that immortality is a precarious condition bestowed by the grace of God. The author also discusses the different philosophical arguments for and against the immortality of the soul and the implications of these arguments for our understanding of human nature. This book is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the concept of human mortality that will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of Christian thought, the philosophy of religion, or the nature of the human soul.
