Life After Death

Life After DeathMetropolitan of Nafpaktos Hierotheos

The book Life after death examines all the issues surrounding the

departure of the soul from the body up until life following Christ’s

Second Coming.

It looks at how the soul is separated from the

body by death, and how human identity is preserved after this

separation. The delicate subject of why some infants die is considered

in the light of what the Fathers have written on this subject. There is

also a balanced consideration of what the soul encounters immediately

after death – the ‘customs houses’. The resurrection of bodies, the

events of the Judgment, what is meant by the eternal Kingdom of God and

what we must do in order to enjoy it are all covered.

For those

interested in more theological background there are chapters on why the

Church does not believe in purgatorial fire or that Hell will eventually

be abolished.

Life after death is a book that offers both

knowledge and consolation, and should be read by everyone who is

concerned about the death of those close to them and their own. It

demonstrates that by living within the Church, through life in Christ,

man can experience the Kingdom of God from this the present life and

overcome death. (From the publisher)Pages: 352Dimensions: 14 x 21 cm.
