LAST THINGS FIRST by Gayraud S. Wilmore

Such topics as death, judgment, heaven and hell, and the end of the world are explored by Gayraud S. Wilmore as he dis- cusses ultimate questions affecting human behavior. He shows how a proper understanding of these "last things" leads the Christian to struggle for a compassionate life on earth, while hoping for final liberation, or resurrection, in God's King- dom. With questions for discussion, this book is immensely enriched by the author's commentary on Christian hope in the black religious experience.
