Anticipating the Afterlife: A Biblical Exploration of Death and What Comes Next

In Anticipating the Afterlife, Bible teacher Paul Luckraft cuts through confusion, superstition and popular myth to reveal what Scripture actually says about death and what follows. Clear, direct and pastorally grounded, this book tackles the big questions head-on: What is the soul? Why do we die? Are we conscious after death? What about infants, pets, or those who never heard the gospel? Can we communicate with the dead? Is there really a second chance--or a place like purgatory? With fresh insight and solid biblical teaching, Luckraft explores Sheol and Hades, the resurrection of Jesus, the promise of our own future bodies, and the reality of judgement, hell and heaven. He lifts our eyes to the new creation--our true eternal home--and offers reassurance for believers and honest clarity for seekers. Both accessible and thought-provoking, Anticipating the Afterlife helps readers face death with confidence, hope and a firmly grounded faith.
