He also considers the implications of mortality for human morality and the search for meaning in life. Ultimately, ""Man Wholly Mortal"" offers a thought-provoking and insightful examination of one of the most fundamental aspects of human existence.1655. This volume is a treatise wherein it is proved, both theologically and philosophically, that as whole man sinned, so whole man died; contrary to that common distinction of soul and body; and that the going of the soul into heaven or hell is a mere fiction; and that at the resurrection is the beginning of our immortality; and then actual condemnation and salvation, and not before. With doubts and observation answered and resolved, both by scripture and reason; discovering the multitude of blasphemies and absurdities that arise from the fancy of the soul. With divers other mysteries; as, of heaven, hell, the extent of the resurrection, the new creation, etc. opened, and presented to the trial of better judgments.
