Description
Book SynopsisSubjects one of Christianity's key beliefs - that Christians not only will survive death but also will enjoy bodily resurrection - to searching philosophical analysis. Facing each critique squarely, Stephen Davis contends that traditional, historic belief about the eschatological future is philosophically defensible.
Trade ReviewAfter We Die demonstrates that even the most minimal attempt to explain resurrection runs into logical snares and theological conundrums. Davis is scrupulous about noting difficulties and ingenious in offering possible solutions. I heartily commend his efforts to any preacher or teacher called upon to explain resurrection. -- Dennis O'Brien -- The Christian Century
Davis's After We Die is extremely well written, up-to-date, and full of interesting arguments, dealt with in a systematic way. -- Benedikt Paul Göcke -- Reading Religion
A very effective and well-argued personal vision of.the afterlife -- Lloyd Strickland -- International Journal for Philosophy of Religion
