Title: Biblical perspectives on death
Description: Attention to psychological and theological responses to death informs this comprehensive overview of biblical perspectives on mortality. Bailey depicts both continuity ad contrast as he moves from ancient to intertestamental literature and then to the New Testament. This work avoids comparative judgments and honors the multiplicity of outlooks which the total canon contains. In addition it evaluates the applicability and effectiveness of various canonical perspectives for those within the believing communities--church or synagogue--of the present.--Back cover.
