Ebook: More Than Matter?: Is There More to Life than Molecules?

From an esteemed professor of philosophy and theology comes this weighty tome on a major intellectual battle: whether human persons are purely materialistic—nothing but matter—or whether there is another, deeply valuable part of us that transcends our bodies in both nature and moral worth. In short, is there such thing as the soul? For centuries philosophers have debated this question, but the battle has taken the limelight through the works of the "New Atheists." In this book Professor Ward guides the reader through a panoply of thinkers and traditions, arguing that there is more to humanity than bodies. In fact, he argues, there is more to the entire universe than the naked eye perceives.
