The first part of the book is grounded in biblical issues and in
historical and philosophical theology. It seeks to establish
several schemes of death theology related, for example, to early
Christianity's Jewish cultural milieu, to belief in Christ's
resurrection and to Christology, to issues of millennial belief and
to an emergent liturgical practice. The rise of notions of the soul
in relation to medieval thought and practice and the place of death
in Reformation theology are both covered, as is the role of the
nineteenth century and twentieth century. Finally the rise of
biblical theology is considered, especially in the twentieth
century. The second part of the book takes up several contemporary
models of the theology of death. The first pursues a traditional
acceptance of an other-worldly afterlife, the second explores
worldly analysis of eternal life as a quality of contemporary
existence devoid of any future state. The third develops the
worldly model and considers a wider sense of self as a part of an
ecological view of the world as a divine creation and explores the
meaning of birth, life and death amidst a divine environment. "The
Theology of Death" aims to offer some sharply defined schemes to
focus thought in a Christian environment in which death, hell and
heaven have almost lost their place. The topic of hope is a key
element and the book explores the birth and fostering of hope
within Christian traditions.
