| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | 520 In this rich book Matthew Levering explores nine key <br/> virtues that we need to die (and live) well: love, hope, <br/> faith, penitence, gratitude, solidarity, humility, <br/> surrender, and courage. Retrieving and engaging a variety <br/> of biblical, theological, historical, and medical <br/> resources, Levering journeys through the various stages <br/> and challenges of the dying process, beginning with the <br/> fear of annihilation and continuing through repentance and<br/> gratitude, suffering and hope, before arriving finally at <br/> the courage needed to say goodbye to one's familiar world.<br/> Grounded in careful readings of Scripture, the theological<br/> tradition, and contemporary culture, Dying and the Virtues<br/> comprehensively and beautifully shows how these nine <br/> virtues effectively unite us with God, the One who alone <br/> can conquer death. - from publisher. <br/> |
