  1. 1. Jesus And The Demise Of Death

    Resurrection, Afterlife, and the Fate of the Christian

    A theological exploration of how Christ’s resurrection decisively defeats death and reorients Christian hope, this work weaves biblical exegesis with patristic and Thomistic insights to illuminate the resurrection of the body and the communion of saints. It examines themes such as heaven, hell, purgatory, and the intermediate state, arguing that bodily resurrection is central to Christian faith rather than a mere metaphor. Along the way, it challenges modern skepticism and reductionist spiritualizations, showing how liturgy, prayer for the dead, and works of charity shape a scripturally grounded Christian imagination about life, death, and eternal destiny.
