Presentation Transcript

  1. Immortality and Resurrection • John Hick

  2. Arguments for Immortality of the Soul • Plato • The sensible and intelligible world • The body and the soul • Only composite things suffer destruction • The soul is simple and imperishable • Some Christian understandings adopt this position.

  3. Resurrection • Humans are finite and mortal. • Death is real and final. • If there is resurrection, it takes a divine act of re-creation. • What is resurrection of the dead? • Spiritual body • Fulfills the promise to the individual, not the society.

  4. Heaven and Hell • This view of resurrection is one of universal salvation. • Eternal misery is not an option.

  5. Parapsychology • Some aspects of parapsychology would seem to support immortality. • Why should we be careful of this?
