Mystik des Todes

by Dorothee Sölle

"In this meditative "fragment" completed only days before her own death, internationally noted theologian Dorothee Soelle turns her attention to the personal, religious, and even cultural meaning of death. She faces the old and new anxieties we have of death in the midst of our own cultural danse macabre. In conversation with the writings of C.S. Lewis, Erich Fromm, the Apostle Paul, and others, she takes the theological measure of death and explores also how it has figured especially in the experience of women." "Intense, personal, yet also whimsical and clever, The Mystery of Death finds Soelle asking impertinent and deadly serious questions to the end."--Jacket.
