Death in the midst of life

"Lucy Bregman explores the landscape of Christian and secular perspectives, tracing the teachings of Scripture and comparing views of Christians with their securlar counterparts throughout the world. She also reflects on personal accounts of death, and dying and near-death experiences. This provocative study will help students and those in the ministry to see how Christianity and depth psychology are employed to critique materialistic understandings of death and dying. The horizon of the Christian who sees the matter as an ultimate issue of faith will be broadened considerably" -- BACK COVER.
