...Levering underscores the hope in eternal life for Jesus' followers and gives readers firmand fruitful soil upon which to base conversations about the Christian's future. -- "Theological Book Review" Matthew Levering is to be warmly congratulated on at least two fronts: for addressing a neglected aspect of the New Testament theology and for attempting to build on these biblical foundations to establish a theology of death that will inform contemporary faith and practice. --Alan Le Grys "Journal for the Study of the New Testament"
