FoC 136: What Death Tells Us About Life with Dr. Scott Hahn

In today’s episode, we’re talking with Dr. Scott Hahn, renowned speaker, professor, and best selling author of many wonderful books including Rome Sweet Home and The Lamb’s Supper. Dr. Hahn is also the founder and director of the St. Paul Center and he has a new book out, co-authored by our friend and yours, Emily Stimpson Chapman, titled Hope to Die: The Christian Meaning of Death and the Resurrection of the Body.

We’re so excited to share this conversation with you because it’s all about living (okay, and dying) in the reality of our resurrected Lord. Dr. Hahn shares about releasing a book about death during a global pandemic, why our bodies are more than a shell for our souls, how our Christian beliefs affect how we treat bodies after death, and what burial rituals and funeral liturgy reveal. But, just as the title of his book claims, it’s a hopeful conversation full of the joy of the Resurrection! We are indeed an Easter people.
