Night Comes Death, Imagination, and the Last Things by Dale C. Allison Jr. Dale Allison's life was dramatically changed when he came close to death at 23. This experience led him to explore difficult questions about what happens after we die and why death often fills us with fear. In this book, Allison draws on his scholarly expertise and personal reflections to examine themes such as death and fear, resurrection and judgment, hell and heaven. Armed with a wide range of biblical texts, church fathers, rabbinic scholars, poets, and philosophers, Allison offers a thought-provoking exploration of these complex topics. He creatively imagines the last things, engaging throughout with scripture and his own experience. This book will appeal to anyone seeking a nuanced understanding of death, the afterlife, and their place in the world. With its unique blend of scholarship and personal reflection, Night Comes Death, Imagination, and the Last Things is an insightful exploration of the final questions we may face.
