For All the Saints cover

What happens to people after they die, and how should we remember them?

Tom Wright sets out to clarify our thinking about what happens to people after they die. Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory, what it means to pray for the dead, what (and who) are the saints, are all addressed in this invigorating and rigorously argued book.Tom Wright explains the Bible's teaching on what happens to people after they die and in doing so throws down a challenge to traditional thinking and liturgical practices surrounding All Saints' and All Souls' Days. Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, what it means to pray for the dead, and what (and who) are the saints are all addressed in this invigorating and rigorously argued book.

Prolific author N.T. Wright looks at what happens when people die. Particularly meaningful is his chapter about the observances of All Saints' and All Souls' days. -- The Living Church
