Description

Bregman guides the reader through the wealth of recent lit. on death & dying, giving special attention to the autobiographical narratives of terminally ill people & to books offering counsel to the dying, their caregivers, & the bereaved. She argues that this lit. should supplement, not supplant, Christian understandings of death. This lit. has tended to obscure our mortality’s profound importance for a Christian understanding of the created world, for the place of death in the life of faith, & for the language we use to describe our place in the history of divine activity. Working to recapture a keener sense of awe & meaning for people who are dying or grieving, Bregman offers a corrective to spiritually impoverished perspectives on mortality & belief.
