From the Publisher:

The Philosophical Research Society is a nonprofit organization founded in 1934 for the purpose of assisting thoughtful persons to live more graciously and constructively in a confused and troubled world. The Society is entirely free from educational, political, or ecclesiastical control. Dedicated to an idealistic approach to the solution of human problems, the Society's program stresses the need for the integration of religion, philosophy, and the science of psychology into one system of instruction. The goal of this instruction is to enable the individual to develop a mature philosophy of life, to recognize his proper responsibilities and opportunities, and to understand and appreciate his place in the unfolding universal pattern.

From the Back Cover:

The preservation of our culture and moral heritage is contingent upon the conviction of the individual that life is meaningful, and that in space and through time the human being is unfolding the eternal life potential contained within himself. It is a reasonable and logical probability that we came from somewhere, that we are here for a purpose, and that we will continue existence toward the attainment of fulfillment of that potential.

In Death to Rebirth Mr. Hall considers in considerable detail separation from the physical body at the time of death, various beliefs about life apart from the physical body, and the procedures by which a reincarnating entity returns to the physical world. Concepts of both East and West are included.
