The Cooper book (second link above) is a standard/essential introduction.
Also read Alfred Freddoso's (sp?) essay, "Don't Worry, Your Soul Is Not Dead Yet" (or something to that effect).

Finney, the best reading with regard to the nature of the soul is by far, 'The Soul of the Embryo' by Professor David Albert Jones who will take up his new position as Director of the Centre in July.
