This volume explores significant areas of debate amongst
evangelical Christians on aspects of death and the afterlife.
The study begins by setting out the perspectives of

demonstrates that there is considerable exegetical support
for the traditional evangelical understanding of death and the
afterlife, and raises questions about the basis for increasingly
popular alternative understandings
