His account of this struggle, recorded in his immortal work, Confessions, ironically describes what contemporary materialists experience daily: “I turned my attention to the nature of the mind, but the false opinions which I entertained of spiritual things prevented me from seeing the truth.”[1] Not so with neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor, who sees the truth about the mind with great clarity: Our bodies consist of physics, but our minds belong to the soul, which is spiritual in nature. Dr. Egnor is a distinguished professor of neurosurgery and pediatric neurology at State University of New York at Stony Brook, and his book The Immortal Mind brings his vast knowledge of the brain to the question of the mind/body problem, arguing, along with co-author Denyse O’Leary, that the evidence from brain science clearly demonstrates that humans have non-corporeal spiritual souls and that the mind is not the same as the brain.
