"This chapter will explore significant teachings within early Mormonism that helped shape current doctrine regarding immortality as it relates to three phases of existence - preexistence, life on earth, and life after death. This paper offers short examination of some of the most important and foundational doctrines relating to what Mormons would call man's 'three estates' and argues that while Church leaders have hardly elaborated on every possibility, they've formulated their most potent challenges to traditional Christianity by shrinking the distance between humans and Deity. While many Christian critics worry about Mormon ideas about God, it's the Latter-day Saint doctrine of human souls that seems most striking given traditional theologies." [From the Text]
