Why I Believe in Personal Immortality

Abstract

THE present volume provides in a brief and concise form an account of the basis of what Sir Oliver Lodge calls his belief in personal immortality. A few new incidents are included for which the author pleads a ‘supernormal’ interpretation, but taken broadly, there is nothing in these which would compel the acceptance of that interpretation by unbiased minds.

Why I Believe in Personal Immortality.

By Sir Oliver Lodge. Pp. viii + 152 + 4 plates. (London, Toronto, Melbourne and Sydney: Cassell and Co., Ltd., 1928.) 5s. net.
