What If You Weren't Afraid of Dying?
There is one question every soul asks, and the modern world has forgotten how to answer it. Eschatology: Death and Eternal Life is the work of a lifetime by one of the most penetrating theological minds of the past century, written so that you, today, can finally hear the answer the Church has always held.
What Happens to Me When I Die?
Most of us have stopped asking out loud. We have rosaries on the nightstand and Catechisms on the shelf, but somewhere along the way the words went thin. We hope. We don't quite know.
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger sat down to write the answer — patiently, prayerfully, with the heart of a pastor and the precision of a philosopher. The result is the most important Catholic book on death written in our lifetimes.
Written by the Man Who Became Pope Benedict XVI
Joseph Ratzinger was already one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century when he wrote this book. Years later he would lead the universal Church as Pope Benedict XVI.
Eschatology is widely considered his most personal and pastoral work — translated into English by Michael Waldstein and edited by the Dominican scholar Aidan Nichols, O.P.
