Book Description
Excerpt from The Christian Philosopher Triumphing Over Death: A Narrative of the Closing Scenes of the Life of the Late William Gordon, M.D. F L. S. Of Kingston-Upon-Hull Another weight which painfully oppresses the mind of the writer, is the deeply-felt incompetence to do justice to his theme. His object is not to eulogize the dead, but to benefit the living, by exhibiting the value of that religion which could so wonderfully sustain the deceased amid severe and protracted sufferings, and which enabled him to anticipate the future, with peace, and even with rapture. But the scenes exhibited in that chamber of affliction, no power the writer possesses is adequate to describe. He feels he can never convey a just impression to those who did not witness it, of the sacred halo which surrounded that sick-bed. His hand trembles as it is put forth to the task, lest this remark able testimony to the truth and power of religion Should, like a valuable gem, be Spoiled in the setting. Yet he feels it an incumbent duty to make the attempt, as no one else to whom it might be delegated could have the same peculiar qualifica tions for it, as one who for nearly a month, was scarcely ever absent from the bed-side of the departed, and who, in claiming to be regarded as a faithful narrator of facts, can at least say We Speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen. In humble reliance on the Giver of all grace, this volume has been prepared. It is now sent forth with earnest prayer, that he would accompany its perusal with his Divine blessing, and that he would bestow both upon writer and readers, a fulfilment of the favourite petition Of him whose dying say. Ings it records 0 thou, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid, cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Heidegger on Death
Author: Professor George PattisonPublisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1409466973
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
This book examines the question of death in the light of Heidegger's paradigmatic discussion in Being and Time. Although Heidegger's own treatment deliberately refrains from engaging theological perspectives, George Pattison suggests that these not only serve to bring out problematic elements in his own approach but also point to the larger human or anthropological issues in play. Pattison reveals where and how Heidegger and theology part ways but also how Heidegger can helpfully challenge theology to rethink one of its own fundamental questions: human beings' relation to their death and the meaning of death in their religious lives.
