Hans Küng has intensely explored the question of a justified trust in eternal life. The contributions revolve around the existential fundamental questions of life, death, and new life. It is an unrelenting struggle to clarify socially, ethically, and politically highly controversial issues. The volume also includes Küng's much-discussed writings on self-responsible, dignified dying. "I do not believe in an endless life on this earth. But I believe in eternal life... That means: I do not wish for an unlimited extension of earthly life in time and space. I hope for a... completely transformed life in God's eternity." Volume 10 of the series Hans Küng Complete Works.
