Summary: A Clear and Concise Work
Comment: Cooper manages clarity, brevity, and thoroughness all in one fell swoop attempt at progressing a workable solution in the ageless enigma of body, soul, and spirit.

The book defends a functional integration of human life (body and soul are separate but dependent) on earth and in heaven but a disembodied intermediate state wherein the body and soul will be both separate and independent.

Cooper's research, objective and scrupulous, examines the widest spectrum: (1) Traditional Christian anthropology and its modern critics; (2) Old Testament anthropology's holistic emphasis; (3) Old Testament anthropology's dualistic implications; (4) The anthropology of intertestamental eschatology; (5) The monism-dualism debate about New Testament anthropology; (6) Anthropology and personal eschatology in the New Testament's non-Pauline writings; (7) Anthropology and personal eschatology in the New Testament's Pauline epistles; (8) New Testament eschatology and philosophical anthropology; (9) Practical and theological objections against dualism; (10) Holistic dualism, science, and philosophy; (11) And finally, a vindication of holistic dualism.

Great contribution to the debate!

Summary: to be an acsetic or not
Comment: cooper's book goes into great detail the question people must ask themselves when they read much of Paul's books. Did the body-hating Christians of the first millenium have it right? his answer is very Biblically based, and probably not too surprizing to most who've thought of this question before.
