Free (nook/Kindle/XtianBk/Sony) Death and Afterlife [Christian Theology]

[ATDrake]

Death and Afterlife: A Theological Introduction by Terence Nichols is exactly what it says in the title, free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's Brazos Press imprint.

Currently free @ B&N, Amazon (available to Canadians), and Christian Book (available worldwide).

Description
In this insightful theological introduction, Terrance Nichols examines viewpoints on death and the afterlife both in Scripture and from numerous perspectives throughout Christian history. By examining death and the afterlife in Ancient Judaism, the Intertestamental period, the New Testament, and in the history of the church, Nichols draws careful insight on what can be known about Heaven, Hell and the concept of purgatory as discussed throughout Christian history. In addition, Nichols weighs in on current scientific challenges to the afterlife while examining some striking examples of near death experiences. Finally, Nichols surveys how the soul can survive death, while arguing in favor of a future bodily resurrection. This superbly insightful work is certain to benefit professors, pastors and students of theology, eschatology and practical theology.

Now dropped to free @ Sony (available to Canadians). Have fun trying to outrace their price-updating bobble birds.

Mind you, that's probably gotten somewhat easier now that you can finally log in and "buy" stuff via the actual website instead of waiting forever for the Sony Reader app to load, crash, and load again so you can access your account.

Note that they still have the exact same problem with their web system as their reader software: the book shows free on the detail page, but once in the cart, it increases in price to $6.39....
