The Mystery of Death

In this meditative work, completed only days before her own death, Soelle faces the old and new anxieties we have about 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. Includes the author's meditation "Where Love Is, There Is God."
