Death, the End of History, and Beyond (IRSC)

In Death, the End of History, and Beyond, Greg Carey offers resources for dealing with multiple, even conflicting, ways that the Bible imagines these ultimate realities. Without opting for simplistic, predictive readings of the Scriptures, Carey instead opens the Scriptures with a breadth of insight that acknowledges its diversity of viewpoints about what lies beyond the veil, centering hope in God's action to bring good out of evil now, in our personal journeys through death, and in visions of resurrection and justice restored.
