The relation between life and death is a subject of perennial
relevance for all human beings, and indeed, the whole world and the
entire universe, in as much as, according to the saying of ancient
Greek philosophy, all things that come into being pass away. Yet it
is also a topic of increasing complexity, for life and death now
appear to be more intertwined than previously or commonly thought.
Moreover, the relation between life and death is also one of
increasing urgency, as through the twin phenomena of an increase in
longevity unprecedented in human history and the rendering of
death, dying, and the dead person all but invisible, people living
in the industrialized and post-industrialized Western world of
today have lost touch with the reality of death. This radically new
situation, and predicament, has implications - medical, ethical,
economic, philosophical, and, not least, theological - that have
barely begun to be addressed. This volume gathers together essays
by a distinguished and diverse group of scientists, theologians,
philosophers, and health practitioners, originally presented in a
symposium sponsored by the John Templeton Foundation.
