Description

The question about life after death has puzzled and tormented humanity for eons and must be addressed by every generation. Recent investigations in medical research have increased and focused attention on old beliefs about the meaning of life and beyond. During an era dominated by rationalism and a materialist mind-set, even raising the question about surviving death has been an embarrassment to some theologians. But is there eternal life? And if so, what is this supposed to mean at a time when our present life is continually improving, progressing to increasingly higher standards and better quality? These are some of the topics considered in this book. The author discusses the medical, philosophical and theological problems that arise from a consideration of these age-old questions and presents a thought-provoking analysis of the modern dilemma of the rethinking of ancient problems.
