Approaching the End: A Theological Exploration of Death and Dying - описание и краткое содержание, автор Jones David Albert (EN), читать бесплатно онлайн на сайте электронной библиотеки Lib-King.Ru.

David Albert Jones considers two basic questions: how can we live well in the face of death? and when, if ever, is it legitimate deliberately to bring human life to an end? He focuses upon the distinct theological approaches to death shown by four outstanding Christian thinkers: Ambrose of Milan, Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, and Karl Rahner. Jones's aim is not primarily to make a contribution to the history of theology, but rather, through engagement with thethought of theologians of the past, to reflect on some of the practical and existential issues that the approach of death presents for all of us.
