Heaven, Hell, and the Afterlife
註釋One of life's most enduring questions is not really about life at all -- rather, it is about what happens after life has come to an end. Since science has not yet pierced the veil of the experience of the body, mind, or soul after the moment of death -- it is quite natural for people to turn toward religion and the "stuff of legends" in order to search for answers and assurance. With more than 40 years of experience as a pastor, lecturer, and student of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, Dr. John Fairless offers an extensive examination of sacred texts, cultural understandings, and personal beliefs around the central question posed earlier: "What happens when we die?" While Dr. Fairless writes from the perspective of a Christian pastor, other belief systems are treated with respect and honest consideration. The ultimate goal of the book is to present information and ask critical questions, so that the reader can formulate answers for themselves.
