Reflections on Death, Dying and Bereavement 
A Manual for Clergy, Counsellors and Speakers

The methodology of ‚Reflections on Death, Dying and Bereavement‘ is mainly philosophical. It is intended to complement scriptural and theological studies. The volume has five main sections that are further divided by chapter. The first section contains foundational considerations. Since the belief in a continuation of life after death or reunion with deceased loved ones offers consolation to many people, the book examines the possibility of human immortality. Various rational arguments are also presented.
