Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In these previously unpublished talks, Fr Alexander Schmemann critiques contemporary culture's distorted understanding of death. He then examines the Church's rites for burial and her prayers for the dead. Though they are often misunderstood, at the heart of the services Fr Alexander finds the paschal proclamation: "Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life." --Publisher description.
