Reflections on Death, Dying, and Bereavement
A Manual for Clergy, Counselors, and Speakers (Death, Value and Meaning)
by William A. Smith
"The methodology of Reflections on Death, Dying and Bereavement is mainly philosophical. It is intended to complement scriptural and theological studies. Chapters 1 and 2 consider foundational metaphysics. Since the belief in a continuation of life after death or reunion with deceased loved ones offers consolation to many people, the book examines the possibility of human immortality. Various rational arguments are presented.
The sufferings that people undergo while in the dying process and the grief of the survivors are discussed. Theists who believe in an omnipotent, all-merciful God will find a trace of "mystery" here."--BOOK JACKET.
