Questions About Death and the Afterlife

What happened when Jesus, Peter, and Paul had firsthand encounters with death? Should we welcome death as a friend or fear it as an enemy? Is there any satisfactory answer to all the powerful objections to the reality of Jesus' resurrection?

Insights on the Resurrection and Immortality

What is Paul’s view of the resurrection body? Are all humans immortal or is this a privilege reserved for the few? Who wins in the Plato-versus-Paul debate about immortality?

Views on Eternity, Hades, and Heaven

How should we view eternity and Hades? What happens to atheists when they die? And apart from guesswork, what is the real nature of heaven?

All these crucial questions and many more are addressed in this concise and comprehensive treatment of the New Testament's answers.
