Excerpt from The Hope of Immortality: An Essay Incorporating the Lectures Delivered Before the University of Cambridge Upon the Foundation of the Rev. John Hulse in the Michaelmas Term, 1897 and the Lent Term, 1898
The circumstances in which this Essay has been written will account more or less for its character.
Some time ago the publishers invited me to write a book upon the subject of Immortality. They thought that such a book, if addressed to the intelligence and information not of theological experts especially, but of educated men and women in general, would not be without a certain value, as showing how much of all that renders human life sublime and sacred is involved in the belief that Man is an immortal being.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author investigates the nature of the human soul, delving into the belief that it is immortal. The author explores the history of this belief and argues for its probability. They examine various theories of immortality, including the transmigration of souls, the absorption of the individual soul into the Universal Soul, and conditional immortality. Ultimately, the author posits that immortality is not conditional but absolute, an intrinsic attribute of every individual human soul. The author argues that the soul is not simply the non-corporeal part of human nature, but a distinct and supreme part that places humans in relation to their Creator. The book explores the connections between religious experience, philosophical inquiry, and the nature of human existence.
