Description

'In a book of such varied contents, it is certain that eveyone will find something which will challenge and inform - and indeed, on occasion, inspire.' - John Bowker, Church Times Throughout history human beings have been preoccupied with personal survival after death.

As a consequence, most world religions proclaim that life continues beyond the grave, and they have depicted the Hereafter in a variety of forms.

These various conceptions constitute answers to the most perplexing spiritual questions: Will we remember our former lives in the Hereafter?

Will we have bodies? Can bodiless souls recognize each other? Will we continue to have personal identity? Will we be punished or rewarded, or absorbed into the Godhead?

These issues serve as the basis of this collection of essays which provide a framework for understanding traditional conceptions of the Hereafter as well as new perspectives.
