Publisher Description
Is there life beyond the grave? Is it reasonable to believe in the afterlife? If so, how should we act on those beliefs? Bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza undertakes an unprecedented voyage of intellectual discovery to reveal the truth about life, death, and beyond.
Dinesh D'Souza, the bestselling author of What's So Great about Christianity, offers an illuminating discussion of the most universal belief in all religions: that of a life beyond this one. Unlike many books about the afterlife, Life after Death makes no appeal to religious faith, divine revelation, or sacred texts to make it's case. Drawing on some of the most powerful theories and trends in physics, evolutionary biology, science, philosophy, and psychology, D'Souza shows why the atheist critique of immortality is irrational—and draws the striking conclusion that it is reasonable to believe in life after death. He concludes by showing how a belief in life after death can give depth and significance to this life, a path to happiness, and reason for hope.

"I really enjoyed this book. I found D'Souza's writing to be clear & articulate, not straying from his thesis or belaboring his points. I especially found Chapter 11 fascinating discussing the historical impact of Christian morality on the development of democracy in the western hemisphere."
— Brett (4 out of 5 stars)

" The author shows no respect for any beliefs or opinions other than his own; therefore, I do not respect him or his book. I usually give books the benefit of the doubt and have rarely not finished a book, but 10 pages was enough for me. "

" Good book with an interesting perspective. I read it with much skepticism, but came away believing there too much info not to believe there is something more. This does not provide any crucial proof, but does open the door to further speculation. A good read if you keep an open mind. "
