Does bodily death mean the complete destruction of a person? The first part of this scholarly book defends the view that the nature of man and the world he encounters implies survival of death as a conceptual possibility. The second part considers the empirical evidence for concluding that at least some persons have survived death. A new kind of understanding, among readers, might result from following the concepts logically developed in this work, using real life terminology and experience.

Highly recommended”—SSC BookNews; “presents what has been said by others so well and so clearly that he has made a real contribution to the subject.

Such a book for this reviewer is Death and Consciousness. The book deserves a wide readership”—Light.
