Leben nach dem Tod

Christian hope includes the belief that life is not lost with physical death, but remains - renewed and reconciled with all its brokenness. The experience of death makes us aware that our own lives are heading towards death. However, people's relationship with death today is ambivalent. On one hand, it is widely addressed in literature and series, while on the other hand, it is repressed. But what becomes of a society that ignores death and does not honor the dead? Theology must also provide answers to these questions: What is death? Why do we perceive it as a threat? Why should it not be the end? What do images like heaven, hell, and purgatory mean? Does the soul exist? What does resurrection mean and how does it differ from the belief in reincarnation? What is eternity? - A coherent and comprehensible overview of the last things in one volume.
