Paul and Death

<p><i>Paul and Death</i> uses the method of psychological exegesis to show that the differing attitudes toward death in Paul's letters make for a much more coherent discourse if they are seen as an aid to individual and collective psychological coping. Taking the differences between each of Paul's letters as its starting point this study suggests that a variety of coping strategies in relation to death may be beneficial depending on the situation the person and the stage of the coping process. Combining theology and biblical studies with modern psychology this book will be of particular interest to academics and students that are studying the relationship between Religion and notions of Death.</p>
