Abstract

The concept of the immortality of the soul is presented from historical, psychological, experiential and phenomenological viewpoints. The concept of the soul and after-death experience are traced from Greek philosophy through the writings of the patristic Fathers of the Church and into the depth psychologies of Sigmund Freud and Carl G Jung. Case studies of near-death experiences are examined in the light of Eastern Orthodoxy. Modern Judaeo-Christian concepts of the soul and its immortality are examined. The thesis presents a psychological and religious framework in which pastors may examine the theoretical meaning of life after death of the human soul.
