Life After Death with John Cobb

Christianity in Process

[podcast may have a slight initial delay]

The question of life after death did not preoccupy the Jews of Jesus’ day. Most believed that a different kind of life continued. Jesus used this belief as a background for some of his parables. It was never the foreground of his teaching. We are called to live in and for the “Kingdom of God” here and now. I personally believe that there is new and different life after death. I think it is all heaven in that our relation to God will play a more direct and immediate role. However, much of it may also be more like purgatory. As C.S. Lewis points out not all of us will be ready to live intentionally in and for God and one another.
