Commentary
Jesus and the Demise of Death : Resurrection, Afterlife, and the Fate of Christian
Outline: What happens after death to Jesus and to those who follow him? This book offers a constructive theology that seeks to answer that very question, carefully considering both Jesus' descent into hell and eventual resurrection as integral parts of a robust vision of the Christian bodily resurrection. Taking on the claims of N. T. Wright and Richard B. Hays, the author draws strongly upon the work of Thomas Aquinas to propose a radical reconstruction of Christian eschatological theology - one that takes seriously the profound ways in which Christianity and its beatific vision would have been enriched by Platonic thought and emphasizes the role of the Church community in the passage from life to death. In so doing, he underscores the hope in eternal life fo Jesus' followers and gives readers firm and fruitful soil upon which to base conversations about the Christian's future.
