Tom Wright explains the Bible's teaching on what happens to people after they die and in doing so throws down a challenge to traditional thinking and liturgical practices surrounding All Saints' and All Souls' Days. Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, what it means to pray for the dead, and what (and who) are the saints are all addressed in this invigorating and rigorously argued book.

What happens to people after they die, and how should we remember them?
