Read through the following pages:
This could come up as a discussion question, such as [1998 Q3]
(c) 'Christians should not be afraid of death.'
Do you agree? Give reasons to support your answer and show that you have thought about different points of view. [5]
You should always give a balanced answer to (c), whatever your own opinion. Maybe you could balance judgment with traditional views of heaven. You would focus on the belief that God was Just as well as merciful. You may mention the effect death has on those left behind.
Try the following question [1999 Q1]
(a) Describe and explain Christian teaching about life after death. [8]
