James B. Gould teaches in the Department of Philosophy at McHenry County College, Crystal Lake, Illinois, and serves on the ethics committees of several healthcare organizations.
""James B. Gould not only argues powerfully that there is no good theological case against prayer for the dead, but also that there is a powerful theological case in favor of it. Gould's case is wide-ranging in its argument, and he deals with the history of prayer for the dead in Christian theology as well as the philosophical and theological issues raised by the practice. His work will be recognized as a landmark on these vital issues for years to come."" --Jerry L. Walls, Professor of Philosophy, Houston Baptist University ""Christians have argued for centuries about whether or not we should pray for the dead. This wise and thorough examination of the subject from a biblical, historical, theological, and philosophical perspective will be an invaluable guide to anyone interested in the question - anyone, in fact, who wants to think more deeply about what we do when we pray and the nature of life after death. There is so much here to inform, challenge, and inspire."" --John Inge, Bishop of Worcester, United Kingdom
