Dying and the Virtues

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“An extraordinarily erudite and penetrating exploration. . . . Rather than responding to the mystery of death with abstract concepts or schemas, Levering introduces readers into the company of great thinkers and faithful witnesses from across the ages, offering their insights as the wisdom of trustworthy companions rather than the prescriptions of professional experts. This book drives home the central Christian conviction that the only satisfactory response to death is the person of Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice reveals death’s true meaning and whose virtues open the way to eternal life.”
