is an extraordinary work of religious scholarship that seeks to answer the title question. Author and ordained minister Desmond Langton postulates that the soul isn't merely "mind, will, and emotions"-rather, it possesses complex dimensions that give humanity spiritual depth. Humans are not just another species of animal. Though we share many motivations and instincts with the beasts of the earth, our grasp of the universe is rich and complex. God has imbued us all with souls that enable us to know him personally and love him more deeply than any other creature can-yet, we still have so much more to discover. Your soul is God's gift to humanity that died when Adam sinned-by better understanding the soul, you can better understand God's intentions for humanity. And by accepting Christ as your savior, you can redeem your soul and spend eternity with Christ in heaven.
