What Does the Bible Teach About Death, Resurrection, and Renewed Creation?
A six-chapter biblical exploration of death from Genesis through Revelation, showing how Hebrew holism (nephesh) and bodily resurrection hope enrich our understanding beyond Greek dualism. Each chapter anchors in primary texts and builds evidence progressively to reveal that biblical hope is MORE concrete and physical than disembodied existence—a recovery of the church's deepest tradition.
