Rethinking how Christians look at death
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Beyond Silence and Denial looks at the roles of death in the Christian Faith. The author lays out how the Protestant view of death and dying has shifted through out the ages. Sometimes this shift was in response to secularism or social problems. The model that the author proposes is how Jesus responded to death and dying. Jesus willingly yielded his spirit on the cross not as an act of defeat or victory, but out of trust in his Father. Death is seen as a part of God's plan and nothing, including dying, can separate us from communion with God.
