"Perhaps the most outstanding qualities of this book are its clarity and its generosity. Corcoran is able to present often-complex arguments in ways that folks who are not intimate with these discussions should nonetheless be able to follow. The humility with which he presents and argues for his own case is exemplary."
–Joel B. Green, Fuller Theological Seminary
Soul, Body, and Survival: Essays on the Metaphysics of Human Persons. Cornell University Press, 2001.
