Death and Beyond

In “Death and Beyond, ” Charles Travers Wood explores Hebrew and Christian beliefs about the afterlife. First published in 1920, this study delves into ancient texts and traditions to examine evolving conceptions of life after death. Wood meticulously analyzes Old and New Testament scriptures, offering insights into the development of ideas surrounding heaven, hell, resurrection, and the ultimate fate of humanity.

The book examines Jewish perspectives on Sheol and the evolving understanding of immortality, contrasting them with Christian doctrines of salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ. “Death and Beyond” provides a comprehensive overview of eschatological thought, making it an invaluable resource for theologians, biblical scholars, and anyone interested in the history of religious ideas about the life to come.
