The Bible Doctrine Of The Soul

The Bible Doctrine Of The Soul: An Answer To The Question, Is The Popular Conception Of The Soul That Of Holy Scripture? is a book written by Charles Linnaeus Ives in 1874. The book is an exploration of the concept of the soul as presented in the Bible, and seeks to answer the question of whether the popular understanding of the soul is in accordance with the teachings of the Bible. Ives begins by examining the various definitions and concepts of the soul held by different religious and philosophical traditions, before delving into the Biblical teachings on the subject. He argues that the popular conception of the soul as a separate, immortal entity that continues to exist after death is not supported by the Bible, and that the true nature of the soul is much more complex and nuanced than commonly believed.Throughout the book, Ives draws on a wide range of Biblical sources, including Old and New Testament scripture, as well as the writings of early Christian theologians and scholars. He also engages with contemporary debates on the nature of the soul, including the emerging field of psychical research, which was gaining popularity at the time of the book's publication.Overall, The Bible Doctrine Of The Soul is a thought-provoking exploration of a fundamental theological concept, and offers a compelling argument for a more nuanced understanding of the soul as presented in the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
