An Epistolary Discourse: Proving, From The Scriptures And The First Fathers, That The Soul Is A Principle Naturally Mortal (1706) is a book by Henry Dodwell that argues that the human soul is naturally mortal. The book is written in the form of a series of letters, or epistles, between the author and a fictional correspondent. Dodwell draws on both scriptural and historical sources to make his case, citing passages from the Bible and the writings of early Christian thinkers such as Tertullian and Origen. He argues that the idea of the soul's immortality is a later development in Christian thought, and that it is not supported by the earliest Christian texts. The book was controversial in its time, and sparked a debate among theologians and philosophers about the nature of the soul and its relationship to the body. It remains a significant work in the history of philosophy and theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
