Death In the Bible- Tears, Triumph, and Tragedy

What does the Bible have to say about human illness, death and dying, and the
existence of Heaven and hell in the afterlife? And, should it be surprising that the ideas
concerning those subjects differ greatly from the Old Testament to the New
Testament? This work emphasizes the radical teachings of Jesus about death
and the afterlife, and how they gave new hope and promise to all of us.

Death and dying are common occurrences in the Bible, from literally
the days of Adam and Eve to the time of Jesus. This work examines the
evolution of Biblical thought about death, dying, Heaven and hell. The
reader will study whether Old Testament man had a strong concept of
the existence of Heaven and hell in the afterlife. There is an emphasis
on the arrival of Jesus and His teachings, and how our Lord and Savior
dramatically brought the new promise of Resurrection and an afterlife in
Heaven for His believers. The work studies the history of blood sacrifice
in the Bible,the radical, new teachings of Jesus during His Ministry as to
the existence of an afterlife in Heaven, and the necessity for Jesus to die
on the cross for our sins. The work ends in an uplifting crescendo of the
study of the Resurrection of Jesus and the reality of what eternity in
Heaven will be like for believers in Jesus Christ. This is a great read for
the Easter season or for anyone who wants to closely examine the topics
of death, dying, and Heaven as they are outlined in the Bible.
