Firstly, that bodily resurrection is not a superfluous hope of afterlife. Secondly, there is immediate post-mortem existence in Paradise. Finally, there is numerical identity between pre-mortem and post-resurrection human beings. The same tradition also largely adheres to a robust doctrine of The Intermediate State, a paradisiacal disembodied state of existence following the biological death of a human being. This book argues that these positions are in fact internally inconsistent, and so a new theological model for life after death is required. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening arguments of the book aim to show that The Intermediate State actually undermines the necessity of bodily resurrection. Additionally, substance dualism, a principle The Intermediate State requires, is shown to be equally untenable in this context. In response to this, the metaphysics of the afterlife in Christian theology is re-evaluated, and after investigating physicalist and constitutionist replacements for substance dualist metaphysics, a new theory called \"Eschatological Presentism\" is put forward. This model combines a broadly Thomistic hylemorphic metaphysics with a novel theory of Time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an innovative examination of the doctrine of life after death. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of analytic theology and philosophy of religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jr. Turner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138350621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138350625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Jr. Turner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113275666687,"sku":"9781138350625","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72f8f6a7-fe31-40f4-a86c-e24a5de6d220.jpg?v=1769614027","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-the-resurrection-of-the-jr-turner-9781138350625","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
