The Eternal Soul - A History, a Diatribe (Paperback)

Two of the most baffling conundrums in the history of philosophy and religion have been the existence of free will and the source of evil. Compounded by insights offered us by modern science, religion has been left with even more hazardous questions: how can the soul exist if the mind is really just the body? How can free will exist if everything is just an assortment of particles on a pre-determined course of action? By looking back to an ancient assumption that the soul lacks both beginning and end - that is Coeternal with God - we can safely and logically solve each of these enigmas while maintaining the central facts of the religion of our choice. The insight afforded us by an eternal soul go even farther: they paint the world not as the stochastic fumbling of being and nothingness, but rather as a beautiful product of God's and our design.
