Inhaltsangabe

First published in 1972 Death in the Secular City grapples with questions like is resurrection and immortality a meaningful concept in the age of lunar expedition, what are the appropriate symbols for renewed belief in heaven etc. in a lucid and forthright manner. Russell Aldwinckle refuses to make his problem easier by reducing immortality to a present experience in this life only. The inadequacies of such a view are clearly emphasized in a synthetic but critical analysis of the views of such men as J.A.T. Robinson, I.T. Ramsey, David Edwards, Paul Tillich, and Gordon Kaufman. The author deals with a range of topics that bear on the central theme: philosophical problems of time, the nature of biblical concepts and of religious language and symbolism, and the nature and status of man in the light of recent scientific thinking. This gives the book a wide appeal and it will be an interesting read for scholars of theology, philosophy and also for ordinary readers.
