N2  - Hatcher suggests resolutions to the dilemma of why spiritual beings should begin their existence in the physical world.  Through a comparison and contrasting of the Bahá'í writings with the solutions of Job, Plato, Boethius and Milton, the author demonstrates that physical experience assists spiritual development in preparation for life after death
