Resurrection is Now: part 1 of 8

Foreword; Prologue; Death as the End: The Death of Experience, The Death of Love.

Dom Aelred Watkin (1918-1997) was a wise and respected Head Master of Downside from 1962 to 1975.
"Resurrection is Now" is a rare opportunity to benefit from his understanding. This book covers death in all its aspects, both as an end and as a beginning, and looks at life from the perspective of a preparation for death. It combines intellectual rigour with a poetic delight in the wonder of being in all its aspects.

You can listen to the book here, or you can read it as a Daily Book in Universalis: the Episode Notes have instructions.. (22 minutes, shareable link)
