Soul or Shadow? What the Bible Says About Death
Working from Genesis 2:7, it argues you don't have a soul, you are a soul (body + the breath of life), so death is an unconscious "sleep" — the metaphor Jesus used for Lazarus and that Ecclesiastes captures in "the dead know nothing." It then tackles the passages most often cited for a conscious afterlife (the thief on the cross in Luke 23:43, and Philippians 1) and reads them through Paul's resurrection teaching in 1 Corinthians 15.
