"This is an excellent collection of original articles with a very specific focus, namely western mind-body dualism and whether it is the view of survival contained in Christian scripture. The book is well worth acquiring. There are many reasons to think that reductive materialism has completely failed in its efforts to get rid of subjectivity, qualia, free will, rationality and the rest of the basic furniture of folk psychology. Whether or not you think Conservative Christianity is a live option philosophically and theologically, its exponents are very much alive and dominate contemporary American philosophy of religion. Soul, Body and Survival is a valuable addition to my library, and I have put it alongside books suggesting process, disembodied soul and reincarnationist views of survival or advocating both western and non-western philosophical and religious views that there is no self to survive."--Frank B. Diley, University of Delaware, International Journal of Philosophy of Religion 52: 195-197, 2002.
