Forward
In every age death has held a perennial fascination for men and women and there is a plethora of ideas about death and especially what lies beyond. Every religion has its philosophy on this matter. However, Biblical Christianity is unique in what it claims happens after we die.
Life beyond death is, I believe, an essential part of the Good News God has revealed in Jesus Christ. Moreover it is a part of Christian teaching that has become increasingly neglected over recent decades. There is widespread misunderstanding of what science and technology does and does not say in this area. We have, in the West, had a priceless treasure stolen from us without realising it. This has led to a lack of assurance and understanding of God's provision and keeping power in many lives.
How can we know about such things? Is your guess as good as mine? In this age of pluralism can we know the truth?
Dick Tripp in this excellent, helpful and timely volume, leads us to the Christian's source book, the Bible, for meaningful answers. Answers that underscore once again what a loving, caring God we have who has made every provision that we could ever need for this life and for eternity.
