In this cross-cultural, interdisciplinary study, John Hick draws upon major world religions, as well as biology, psychology, parapsychology, anthropology, and philosophy, to explore the mystery of death. He argues that scientific and philosophical objections to the idea of survival after death can be challenged, and he claims that human inadequacy in facing suffering supports the basic religious argument for immortality.

Condition

A good copy. The book has light tanning to the page edges but is in otherwise strong readable condition. The dustwrapper has been price-clipped, is a little faded to the spine and has light edgewear.
