In this rich book Matthew Levering explores nine key virtues that we need to die (and live) well: love, hope, faith, penitence, gratitude, solidarity, humility, surrender, and courage.Retrieving and engaging a variety of biblical, theological, historical, and medical resources, Levering journeys through the various stages and challenges of the dying process, beginning with the fear of annihilation and continuing through repentance and gratitude, suffering and hope, before arriving finally at the courage needed to say goodbye to one's familiar world.Grounded in careful readings of Scripture, the theological tradition, and contemporary culture,Dying and the Virtuescomprehensively and beautifully shows how these nine virtues effectively unite us with God, the One who alone can conquer death.
