Death Isn’t Nothing at All

In this episode, we explore Scripture’s delicate balance: the acceptance of a life completed, the lament for the rupture that death brings, and the grounded hope that never needs to deny pain. Instead of over-describing the afterlife, faith offers images sturdy enough to trust and practices strong enough to carry us when words fail. comms@ridley.cam.ac.uk www.ridley.cam.ac.uk
