Life After Death true
By:Alan Segal
Published on 2010-06-23 by Image


A magisterial work of social history, Life After Death illuminates the many different ways ancient civilizations grappled with the question of what exactly happens to us after we die. In a masterful exploration of how Western civilizations have defined the afterlife, Alan F. Segal weaves together biblical and literary scholarship, sociology, history, and philosophy. A renowned scholar, Segal examines the maps of the afterlife found in Western religious texts and reveals not only what various cultures believed but how their notions reflected their societies’ realities and ideals, and why those beliefs changed over time. He maintains that the afterlife is the mirror in which a society arranges its concept of the self. The composition process for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam begins in grief and ends in the victory of the self over death. Arguing that in every religious tradition the afterlife represents the ultimate reward for the good, Segal combines historical and anthropological data with insights gleaned from religious and philosophical writings to explain the following mysteries: why the Egyptians insisted on an afterlife in heaven, while the body was embalmed in a tomb on earth; why the Babylonians viewed the dead as living in underground prisons; why the Hebrews remained silent about life after death during the period of the First Temple, yet embraced it in the Second Temple period (534 B.C.E. –70 C.E.); and why Christianity placed the afterlife in the center of its belief system. He discusses the inner dialogues and arguments within Judaism and Christianity, showing the underlying dynamic behind them, as well as the ideas that mark the differences between the two religions. In a thoughtful examination of the influence of biblical views of heaven and martyrdom on Islamic beliefs, he offers a fascinating perspective on the current troubling rise of Islamic fundamentalism. In tracing the organic, historical relationships between sacred texts and communities of belief and comparing the visions of life after death that have emerged throughout history, Segal sheds a bright, revealing light on the intimate connections between notions of the afterlife, the societies that produced them, and the individual’s search for the ultimate meaning of life on earth. From the Hardcover edition.

Good Grief false By:Teresa Masters Published on 2016-02-10 by WestBow Press Teresa Masters is an ordinary mother who was faced with every mother?s worst nightmare, not once, but twice. By placing her trust in God, she learned how to take one day at a time and reach peace of mind and is closer with God than she ever thought possible. In her life?s story she shares how her agonizing cries to God for help and her complete dependence on Him gave her the courage she needed to do what was necessary to provide a safe and peaceful environment for her children. Then tragedy blindsided her twice, leaving her heart shattered for life and learning to live without her children. Instead of giving in to despair, Teresa turned to songwriting and singing - achieving nationwide acclaim - and channeled her grief into a mission to help others find God in their darkest hour. She created a support group for mothers who, like herself, had lost children. Together they found a safe haven with each other and a...
