On Death, Dying, and the Future Hope (4Q 2022 Bible Bookshelf)

What happens when you die? It’s an age-old question that continues to mystify modern minds. In their quest for answers, people turn to mediums, channelers, and séances, desperately hoping to contact loved ones lost to the grave. Today, mysticism and paranormal experiences are sweeping through the world in books, movies, and video games. Dazzled by the supernatural, people in our culture are ripe for delusion and false hope. Even Christians have settled for philosophical postulates and ecclesiastical traditions to solve the riddle of what lies beyond the grave. Join Dr. Timm as he traces how extra-biblical sources—especially Platonic philosophy—have distorted the biblical understanding of life and death. He carefully unpacks what the Bible says about human nature and the state of the dead. Life is too precious, and death is too mysterious to speculate about its ultimate meaning. Only God, through Scripture, can give us the soul-satisfying answers we seek.
