Life after Death: A New Approach to the Last Things
Overview
Writing in the wake of a near-fatal stroke, eminent theologian Anthony C. Thiselton addresses a universally significant topic: death and what comes next. This distinctive study of “the last things” comprehensively explores questions about individual death, the intermediate state, the return of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, hell, the final state of the redeemed, and more. At once scholarly and pastoral, Thiselton’s Life after Death offers biblically astute, historically informed, and intellectually sound answers—making this book an invaluable resource for thinking Christians.
