Summary

The Blessed Hope of Living Again after Dying is a non-denominational Christian book with an educational perspective that explains the phenomena of life, death and mourning, focusing on the meanings of human life, spiritual regeneration, and eternal life. Dr. Lu Ethel T. Green uses an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating knowledge from the Bible, and the biological, physical, social and psychological sciences, to take an in-depth exploration into the origins and ends of human existence on Earth. This approach is used as a background for discussing the relationship of human beings with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Moreover, Dr. Green illuminates the basic and fundamental truths about the Holy Trinity, life, death, and eternal life, which are essential to the beliefs, faith and service of the Christian. Specifically, she expounds on selected Biblical truths about God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit and discusses scientific facts and scriptural texts that reveal the mysteries of life, death, and eternal life. Special emphasis is focused on salvation as the only means by which eternal life is received, the excellence of everlasting life, and the inheritors of eternal life.
