'This sophisticated work of scholarship and analysis gestures toward a new theology of death... This book's insights will enrich the thinking of systematic theologians and sharpen the theological foundations of those doing pastoral work with the dying and bereaved.' Religious Studies Review 'At the outset of this book, Novello notes that his efforts will have been worthwhile if by the end of this book the reader is left with a deeper sense of the final graciousness of reality [and] of the inalienable worth of this laborious and fragmented pilgrim life which God will make whole by the workings of grace... . This reviewer is in the author's debt for having accomplished its purpose within him.' Worship 'A consistently outstanding first book.' Heythrop
