When Souls Had Wings: Pre-Mortal Existence in Western Thought
Givens, Terryl L. (Professor of Religion and Literature, Professor of Religion and Literature, University of Richmond)
The notion that we spring into existence ex nihilo at birth strikes many people as counter-intuitive. By contrast, the idea that we have an eternal identity appeals to some deep intuition about the self. And indeed, belief in the soul's pre-mortal existence has a long history in Western thought. Terryl Givens offers the first systematic exploration of this fascinating if generally unfamiliar feature of Western cultural history.
