Reviews for The Emergence of Eternal Life
'As philosophy of religion goes, this is a relatively accessible and occasionally very insightful account of the provenance and character of eternal life … this book can be commended to Anglican students of philosophical theology with a special interest in eschatology and the nature of eternal life.'
