Is There Death After Life?

by John A. Lynn, John W. Schoenheit, Mark H. Graeser

This book gives biblical answers to the following What is death? Is death a “graduation?” Is death a friend or foe? What is the “soul?” Where are the dead? Why does God use the metaphor of “sleep” to describe death? When will the dead awaken? After laying the groundwork by answering these questions, the book deals with 13 sections of Scripture commonly used to “prove” that the “dead” are “alive.” With numerous references to other Christian books and magazines, the authors show how Greek philosophy shaped the current “evangelical” doctrine of the immortality of the soul, and they briefly point out how and why the Reformation failed to reform this totally pagan belief that is now even more firmly entrenched in Christendom.
