The Future Life in the Light of Modern Inquiry by Rev. Samuel McComb - 1919 - ODJ

The Future Life in the Light of Modern Inquiry by Rev. Samuel McComb. This is a first printing published in 1919. This book comes with the original dust jacket.

Rev. Samuel McComb was associated with the Emmanuel Movement, which was known for its innovative approach of integrating medical science with religious counseling to treat what were seen as psychosomatic disorders. While "The Future Life in the Light of Modern Inquiry" does not deal directly with the Emmanuel Movement’s therapeutic practices, it embodies the movement’s ethos of engaging contemporary scientific thought from a Christian perspective.

The book contributes to the intellectual environment from which the Emmanuel Movement emerged. This environment was characterized by a willingness to engage with modern science and psychology to enrich and expand traditional religious understanding and practices.

Like the Emmanuel Movement, McComb’s work reflects a holistic approach to spiritual matters, recognizing the importance of addressing both the intellectual and emotional needs of individuals. This aligns with the movement’s emphasis on healing the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

This book is the result of the author's reflection for many years, and aims at presenting in due perspective the positive arguments for the life after death. It is the first attempt to show how the religious, the ethical and the scientific proofs supplement each other. From all sides the teaching of philosophy, the results of psychical research, and the revelations given in the Christian religion-the problem is discussed afresh and the book is offered as a word of reassurance to many who, in these days of spiritual stress, are asking if there is anything behind the veil.
