Most Evangelical Christians only know and thoroughly believe the traditional doctrine of eternal torment in Hell for the lost and eternal bliss in Heaven for the saved. As a result, they neglect scores of Bible verses with that provide an alternative teaching. This book veers from some long-held assumptions while reinforcing others, as it humbly attempts to discover the truth of what the Bible teaches about the hereafter. Written for the serious layman, scripturally founded clergy, and open-minded scholar, Dead Soul Syndrome provides wisdom and thought-provoking insight for those interested in thinking anew about heaven and hell. ""Perhaps you are one who finds your convictions regarding heaven and hell comfortably satisfying. If so, you may be exactly the person who needs to read Dead Soul Syndrome. If you desire to further develop your viewpoint on these important biblical subjects, you definitely will want to read this book. Altieri answers many questions about the afterlife magnificently. This book is a must read for those have struggled with the biblical data. This book will force you to think outside the traditional ecclesiastical box. The author is premillennial in his viewpoint, but this doesn't detract from his well researched, well documented, and challenging manuscript."" --Steven Clarke Goad author of This Present Chaos, Gullible's Travels, A Man Called Kelsey, Kicking Against the Goads, and A Unity Cordial Jay Altieri is a long time Christian and student of the Bible.
