Synopsis
This book delves into the historical and theological development of the Christian belief in the immortality of the soul, challenging its origins in ancient Greek philosophy. The author argues that this doctrine, which asserts the inherent and endless existence of every human soul, is not explicitly taught in the Bible and was introduced into Christian thought through the influence of Plato's philosophy. The book traces the evolution of this belief from its pre-Christian roots through its adoption by various Christian writers and theologians, examining how it has influenced Christian eschatology and shaped understandings of life after death. By exploring the historical context and philosophical underpinnings of this doctrine, the author sheds light on its significance within Christianity and prompts readers to critically examine its theological and ethical implications.

Présentation de l'éditeur
They are a protest against a doctrine which, during long centuries, has been almost universally accepted as divine truth taught in the Bible, but which seems to me altogether alien to it in both phrase and thought, and derived only from Greek Philosophy. Until recent times, this alien doctrine has been comparatively harmless. But, as I have here shown, it is now producing most serious results. My protest against it is an appeal, which no Protestant can disallow, from the traditional teaching of the Church to the supreme authority of Holy Scripture. Of the justice of this appeal, my readers must judge.
