Immortality of the Soul

"Immortality of the Soul : Or, Resurrection of the Dead?: The Witness of the New Testament" is a profound theological investigation into the core Christian beliefs regarding life after death. In this work, Burnett H. Streeter examines the historical and scriptural distinctions between the Greek philosophical concept of the soul's innate immortality and the biblical doctrine of the resurrection. By focusing on the witness of the New Testament, the text clarifies how these two distinct ideas interacted and shaped the early Christian understanding of human destiny.

Streeter provides a scholarly analysis of the linguistic and cultural context in which the New Testament was written, exploring how early believers conceptualized the transition from death to eternal life. The work delves into the teachings of Jesus and the writings of the Apostles to determine the primary emphasis of the early Church's hope. This book remains a valuable resource for students of theology, biblical scholars, and readers interested in the philosophical foundations of Christian eschatology. Through a careful reading of "Immortality of the Soul : Or, Resurrection of the Dead?", readers gain a deeper appreciation for the historical development of doctrines that continue to influence religious thought today.
