Death and destiny in the Bible

"Death and Destiny in the Bible looks at the traditions which deal with death, its perceptions, treatments, and presumptions, as well as commonly held expectations about afterlife found in the Old and New Testaments." "The author demonstrates that in all traditions, early as well as late, a basic trust is called for in the living and gracious God."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
