Opis

This book argues that the commonly held Christian doctrines around the ressurection of the dead are in fact internally inconsistent, and so a new theological model for life after death is required. It re-evaluates the metaphysics of the afterlife in Christian theology and sets out a new theory called "Eschatological Presentism".
