Immortal: How the Fear of Death Drives Us and What We Can Do About It

Product DescriptionIs There Life After Death? For many, death is terrifying. We try to live as long as possible while hoping that science will soon find a way to allow us to live, if not forever, then at least a very long time. Whether we deny our mortality though literal or symbolic immortality or try to turn death into something benign, our attempts fail us. But what if the real solution is not in denying death?s reality, but in acknowledging it while enjoying a hope for a wonderful forever? Clay Jones, a professor of Christian apologetics, explores the ways people face death and how these ?immortality projects? are unsuccessful, even destructive. Along the way, he points to the hope of the only true immortality available to all-the truth that God already offers a path to our hearts? deepest longing: glorious resurrection to eternal life.About the AuthorClay Jones (DMin) is an associate professor of Christian apologetics at Biola University and the chairman of the board for Ratio Christi, an international university apologetics ministry.
