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 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.
