Death and resurrection from the point of view of the cell-theory
by Gustaf Björklund
About the author
Born in Björksta parish in Västmanland in 1846, he studied at Uppsala University and later continued with philosophy and public law in Stockholm. He worked for a time as a teacher before turning more fully to writing.
He became known as a philosophical writer whose books engaged with religion, free thought, and scientific ideas. Among his works are Framtidens religion, Moses eller Kristus?, and, after his death, the English-language Death and Resurrection from the Point of View of the Cell-Theory, which shows how strongly he was interested in bringing together questions of belief and modern biology.
He died in Stockholm on July 2, 1903. Today he is remembered as a late 19th-century Swedish author who wrote boldly about faith, doubt, and the search for meaning.
