Eternal Man

by Truman G. Madsen

Overview

The concept of "eternal man" is vital to a full understanding of the doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is as important to Latter-day Saints that there will be a "forever forward" as that there has been a "forever backward." Here is a scholarly book written to make manifest the truth that man is an eternal individual, and that he has had and will have an identity forever. The author, Dr. Truman G. Madsen, plumbs some of the "deeps" in man in a careful, solemn style. He affirms that an understanding of self, even as Christ taught men to know themselves, can endow life with glorious meaning. These essays will bear repeated exposure. The understanding to be derived from their frequent study will make life here and now more meaningful and the eternities ahead a goal worth living for.
