Review
"Brief and clearly presented, this is a masterly study of the torturing question, What happens when a man dies? The book offers proof of colossal erudition." --
Christian Century"Dr.Pieper very subtly and usefully stresses the character of dying as act and choice, leading us up very gently to the shocking old notion that it might also constitute a well-deserved punishment. --
Times Literary Supplement[This] volume deserves a place on any bookshelf devoted to Christian philosophy." --
