In these troubling times when terrorism and war bring death close to home, Is Death the End? addresses that universal anxiety that lies just below the surface of our conscious acts and decision making. Even persons with religious affiliation often think about death with terror and believe it is the end of everything. This essay is a bold reflection that opens doors for hope, sharing an enriched vision of the miracle of life. Portuguese author Reverend Manuel Pedro Cardoso brings a new voice to the Western Hemisphere by examining several key Christian concepts and skillfully blending them with common secular ideas. Although he is a Protestant pastor teaching Practical Theology, he draws on non-Christian as well as Christian sources. The conceived reality of the life after death has persisted through many ancient cultures, from the Egyptians and their elaborate pyramids to Greeks and Hindus with their burning funeral pyres. But while some people celebrate death, others have developed a deep-seated dread of their own mortality. Reverend Cardoso studies the 'immortality of the soul" and deals with the perplexing question of lifestyle choices based on whether or not we believe in life after death. He explores the concepts of heaven, hell, and purgatory and inquires into the evidence surrounding the resurrection of Christ. With its honest style, Is Death the End? offers hope and expectation to people across a broad spectrum of believers, receiving light from various quarters. Reduce your anxiety about life after death so that you can live life to the fullest!
