What happens after death?
▶ Informative and knowledgeable
▶ Helpful orientation to an existential question
Many ny people share the hope that life continues after death “somehow”,
but
there re are widely varying ideas about the “how”. The idea of a rebirth is
increasingly
widespread even among people of the Christian faith. But are
these ideas even compatible, or do they contain contradictions that can’t be
resolved?
Gabriel Looser presents representatives of both viewpoints, discusses differences
and similarities, and clears up widespread misunderstandings.
This allows readers to clarify their own point of view and find a position
that is consistent with their own beliefs. In the last section of the book, the
author, who leads an institute for spiritual care for the dying, lays out a vision,
which is both inspiring and unorthodox, that just might overcome
those contradictions.
