| Summary: | The theological horizons of this book are vast. In one direction we explore death, dying, and the meaning of life through questions such as an intermediate state after death, the parousia, the resurrection, and the Last Judgement. In another direction, we encounter Wittgenstein, Ryle, and Hawking; in yet another, a sustained and careful exposition of New Testament passages, as we might expect from such a distinguished biblical commentator. They are brought together in the real questions of human existence and Christian discipleship—mourning, waiting, doubt, trust, and joy., This is a book which will enrich professional theologians and lay people alike. It brings together a lifetime of sustained thinking and ministry. |
