Summary: Beyond Death
Comment: This book contains some good arguments. Although they are not perfect, the reader should be able to read a few other books and proceed to build an invincible case.

The previous reviewer, "cody", seems to be one of those young and zealous Bible school students. We who have been at it longer know better, and hopefully he will learn soon.

Summary: Old arguments
Comment: In reading this book I was very impressed with Dr. Habermas' writings, however it was the opposite with Dr. Moreland. He tries to offer a logical argument for dualism, which is a dead idea. I feel that as Christians we need to get away from the philosophy of Plato and his body/soul distiction. also the use of NDE's in this book is a horrible argument and most of the scientific world laughs out loud at these ideas. I recommed for the philosophical mind that you read Richard Rorty's Objectivism, Relativism and Truth essay on Non-Reductive Physicalism. This is the direction Christianity has to go if it is going to continue to live.

Summary: An excellent work
Comment: It is both comprehensive and scholarly. Includes three sections: evidence for immortality, nature of immortality, and implications of immortality.

Begins with some foundational work on what exactly it means for something to be rational. Works through some traditional arguments for immortality and assesses them. Also covers the claims of Jesus and, significantly, it responds to the claims of athiest Michael Martin. Also discusses NDEs, heaven, and hell.

This book is written with a non-believer in mind. I don't know, however, how convincing it would be to a non-believer because it deals primarily with the mind and not the heart. Additionally, my encounters with non-believers reinforces to me that you can doubt anything, even when it is non-sensical to do so. Faith is an issue of the condition of you heart. What I do know is that the work done in this book is foundational to thinking about immortality, and that anyone seriously interested in this subject will be well served by reading it. I, personally, was able to expand my thinking.

In my experience, anything that JP Moreland puts his hand to is intellectually powerful and dangerous to the secular establishment.
