Eternal Man
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."<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.
