What if death is not the end of the human story-but the interruption of it?
Across history and culture, human beings have resisted the finality of death. We mourn as though something has gone wrong. We love as though permanence should be possible. From ancient myth to modern science, this persistent longing raises a serious question: is immortality merely a wish-or does it reveal something true about who we are?
The Case for Immortality offers a rigorous and wide-ranging inquiry into humanity's destiny. Drawing on Scripture, the early Church Fathers, philosophy, and contemporary scientific research, the book argues that immortality is not a fantasy appended to an otherwise mortal universe, but the proper end of human life-wounded by the Fall, revealed in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and made possible through participation in divine life.
Moving from humanity's earliest memories of lost life to its modern attempts to overcome death through technology, the book centers on the Resurrection as the decisive event in which human destiny is disclosed. Far from opposing nature, the Resurrection completes it, revealing a creation oriented toward transformation rather than extinction.
Engaging modern biology, physics, consciousness studies, and the lived experience of time itself, The Case for Immortality shows that the created order is not closed against eternal life. While science cannot prove resurrection, it increasingly uncovers a world marked by coherence, persistence, relationality, and openness to transformation-features that resonate with the Christian vision of glory.
This is not a book about escaping the body, rejecting science, or engineering eternal life. It is a work of theological realism-a reasoned inquiry into whether humanity was made for more than death, and how that life is not achieved, but received.
Written for thoughtful believers, skeptics, scientists, and seekers alike, The Case for Immortality invites readers to reconsider the deepest assumptions about life, death, and the future of the human person-and to ask whether eternal life is not a denial of reality, but its fulfillment.
