Hope to Die: The Christian Meaning of Death and the Resurrection of the Body
Jako katolicy wierzymy w zmartwychwstanie ciała. Potwierdzamy to, wypowiadając Credo podczas niedzielnej Mszy Świętej. Czy jednak dobrze rozumiemy te słowa i ich znaczenie?
Przeciwstawiając się współczesnej tendencji do uciekania od tematu śmierci i cierpienia, Scott Hahn - wybitny amerykański teolog katolicki - w swojej książce dogłębnie bada istotę umierania i zmartwychwstania. Odnosząc się do Pisma Świętego i historii Kościoła, wyjaśnia tajemnice naszego zbawienia, a także tłumaczy, dlaczego tak istotne są między innymi godny pochówek i modlitwa za zmarłych.
Autor przypomina czytelnikowi to, co najważniejsze: że jako chrześcijanie nie zostaliśmy stworzeni, by umierać, ale dzięki ofierze Jezusa mamy nadzieję żyć w wieczności.

About the author
Scott Hahn
415 books1,328 followersScott Hahn is a renowned Catholic theologian, apologist, speaker, and bestselling author whose work has had a profound impact on contemporary biblical theology and Catholic thought. A former Presbyterian minister, Hahn converted to Catholicism in 1986 after an intense personal and theological journey, which he details in his popular book Rome Sweet Home, co-written with his wife, Kimberly Hahn. Their story of conversion has inspired countless readers around the world and remains a landmark in modern Catholic apologetics.
Hahn holds the Father Michael Scanlan Chair of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, where he has taught since 1990. He is also the founder and president of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting biblical literacy among the laity and biblical fluency among clergy. Through the Center, Hahn leads a wide range of initiatives, including publications, pilgrimages, Bible studies, and the scholarly journal Letter and Spirit.
Educated at Grove City College (B.A.), Gordon–Conwell Theological Seminary (M.Div.), and Marquette University (Ph.D. in Systematic Theology), Hahn brings a deep academic foundation to his work. His dissertation, Kinship by Covenant, was later published by Yale University Press and received praise for its theological insight and scholarly rigor.
Throughout his career, Hahn has emphasized the covenant as the key to understanding salvation history, showing how the biblical narrative reveals a divine plan that unites all of humanity into God's family. His works explore themes such as the Eucharist, the role of Mary, the sacraments, and the authority of the Church, often drawing on the writings of the early Church Fathers to bridge the ancient faith with modern understanding.
He is the author or editor of over forty books, including The Lamb’s Supper, Hail, Holy Queen, First Comes Love, Letter and Spirit, Swear to God, Reasons to Believe, The Creed, The Fourth Cup, and Holy Is His Name. Many of his books have become staples in Catholic households, study groups, and seminaries.
In addition to his writing, Hahn is a highly sought-after speaker, having delivered thousands of lectures across the United States and abroad. He appears regularly on EWTN and has collaborated with Lighthouse Catholic Media to bring his teachings to an even broader audience.
Scott Hahn lives in Ohio with his wife Kimberly. They have six children and numerous grandchildren. Together, the Hahns continue to lead efforts in evangelization and Catholic education, embodying a lifelong commitment to deepening faith and understanding through Scripture and tradition.

This book is nothing academically "brilliant," but it's a very good and sound review of the constant teaching of the Church regarding the body, death, and eternity. There's also a good discussion about what our glorified resurrection bodies will be like (impassibility, subtlety, ability, and clarity), as well as a fair discussion on cremation versus burial.
Like I said, it's nothing extraordinary, except the authors force us to ponder what many of us moderns no longer think about: the importance and significance of our sacred bodies, and the reality and meaning of death. Physical death is not something we need to fear, but, in Christ, it is something we can embrace with hope.
We can't forget, as the authors tell us, that "while the mortality rate for each of us is 100 percent, the immortality rate for each of us is also 100 percent."

I really enjoyed this, I took so many notes. The authors clearly explain how the perception of death changed from pre to post Resurrection of Jesus, and then how the ideologies of modernism and post-modernism reverted the perception back to a pre-Resurrection, fearful understanding of death. This primarily influenced the reasons why today's culture views death as defeat, the body as a burden, and undervalues the signficance of our body, and matter in general. They talk about how all of this has led to the practice of cremation becoming more common than traditional burial practices, globally and among Catholics, which I found fascinating.
Another main idea discussed is the significance of God working through the physical to affect the spiritual. How the visible helps us understand the invisible. Something I love thinking about.
I especially enjoyed the few chapters about entering into the Beatific Vision! "The deepest connection you have ever felt with anyone in this life is nothing more than a shadow of the connection you will experience with every single person in heaven" (106).

It is hard to imagine a book specifically about death being more uplifting than Scott Hahn's latest offering. Another superb work, and providentially timely considering the pandemic, Hahn masterfully takes the reader thru salvation history, the body as sacrament, the properties of a glorified body, our eternal destiny, the witness of the martyrs, a (fascinating) history of treatment of the dead, cremation and its problems, the importance of the body, an afterword inspired by the coronavirus in which is stressed the hope for the afterlife and praying for the dead, and more.
However you're feeling right now about life and death, you will come away blessed when you finish this book.

I love everything written by Dr. Hahn. However, the content of this one pertaining to cremation I don't agree with and felt it was very one sided and opinionated.

I really enjoyed this book. Very insightful and well written. I’ve read a few books from Scott Hahn and sadly just never really liked them much. This is by far my favorite book from him and I will be passing along to friends and family to read. Completely changed my view on death and burial for the better.

“What we will be has not yet been revealed,” unless you are Scott Hahn, then you know everything about how heaven will be. It was your basic Scott Hahn book. If you like his other books you will like this one.

“We live like materialists. We die like Nihilists. And this is a problem.”

I LOVE Dr. Hahn’s depiction of heaven and his constant insistence that it is what we are made for and the reality of the beauty of the messy story that God is writing in our fallen world.
His chapter on why the Church permits cremation is historical, but leaves out a commentary on the reality that we, as a Church, burn holy objects so that they will not be profaned. I really wish he would have responded to this genuine objection rather than presuming that the preference for burial is obvious.

This is a discussion of the resurrection of the body, the significance of the doctrine, how the Jews and Christians acted differently than the pagans around them because of this belief, and other developments of this.
October 12, 2024
Although Hahn has some important insights to share, the way he writes - short colloquial sentences - is just not very inspiring. It's popular-level enough that anyone is able to understand it, which undoubtedly is one of the purposes of this style of writing, but even so he could have done a much better job.

Concise and beautifully written. A very important book for understanding death and theology. Death is unnatural. Due to original sin, death and disease entered the world. Christ was born, died, was buried, and rose from the dead. Like Christ, our bodies will rise again.
Many people think as soon as a Christian dies, they immediately go to "heaven" or become an "angel in heaven." People often use the expression "heaven has gained another angel." (Theologically this is incorrect because angels are pure spirits who have no bodies, and humans are made in the image and likeness of God with both body and soul). However, most Christians completely forget about the resurrection of the dead on the last day.

What a beautiful book! short, but pithy, loaded with excellent information regarding the Catholic view of death, the body, and heaven. Written in a clear and conversational manner, this book is easy to comprehend and enjoyable to read, despite being rich in Catholic theology. Much of the information was new to me & probably will be for most Catholics. The timing for this recently released book was fortuitous considering all that has occurred in the world this year. As one who at one time wished to be cremated, I found Scott Hahn's presentation of the Church's reasons for preferring burial of the body over cremation very compelling. Highly recommend.

Classic Dr. Hahn. A great explanation of how death has been looked at from the beginning with Adam and Eve through our current times, in light of the Church. It answers important questions regarding the regard we should have for our bodies and how we show the dignity each person deserves, not just in life, but particularly in death.

"Cross my heart and hope to die..." I remember being a child and reciting these lyrics...but not thinking too deeply about what they meant.
Scott Hahn's wonderful little book Hope to Die is an examination of the Christian teaching around death and dignity of the human body. I chose to read this book because of my current job officiating funerals at a national cemetery. I am faced with the reality of 'performing' multiple funerals a week and I thought a book like this might help bring perspective.
Hahn does a great job at providing the Christian basis for the dignified treatment of the body after death. He places this in the context of the Christological teaching of the Church and the hope that all Christians have in the Resurrection. He deals with doctrines like the final judgment and the resurrection of the dead. Likewise, he provides a very great historical overview of how Christians have viewed the body and the concept of respecting the dead.
It should be noted that this is a book for believers, not for people who wish to debate the nature of the existence of the soul or of death. Rather, this is meant to build up those already in the Church and to deal with the subject of cremation. In retrospect, I think it would have been interesting to see Hahn deal with subjects and arguments brought up by Shelly Kagan in his book Death, but that would go beyond the books scope.
Hahn spends a great deal of time dealing with cremation as this is an important topic within the Church. Should Christians be cremated? What has the Church taught? Why are more Christians being cremated than ever before. With all of these questions, I found this to be the weakest part of the book.
Hahn's argument is: because the body is the vessel of the Spirit, part of God's creation, and reflective of the image of God, that the human body should not be burned. He understands and says straightforwardly that the Church permits the practice of cremation but does not recommend it. These are interesting topics...particularly for me who deals with Cremains on a weekly basis. But Hahn never addresses the other side of this. If burial is preferred by the Church, where then are the restrictions? We currently pump enough chemicals in a human body to keep it as 'lifelike' and free from decay for as long as possible. Where is the balance? Rather, Hahn seems to focus like a laser on the issue of cremation to the expense of other matters regarding a dignified burial.
Overall, Hahn's writing is engaging and clear. He is able to draw on various figures from Church history, including the Church Fathers, St. Aquinas and several Popes and make them understandable and relatable for the modern Christian. One does not require a great deal of knowledge about these figures nor of church history to gain much from his discussion.
I highly recommend this book for all Christians who want to examine their own beliefs on the nature of death and resurrection.

This book was an insightful and interesting pondering of what it means to die and what believing in the resurrection of the body actually means for us as Christians. We read this book for Emmaus group (Catholic book study) this spring, and while it’s insightful, it wasn’t my favorite. I felt like it included a lot of opinion on Hahn’s part that I was less inclined to appreciate, but I also felt like it included good information in a respectful and beautiful way. I loved his chapters on the goodness of the body, and his references to TOB were well placed and purposeful. This book DID make me ponder, and that’s worthwhile. However, while it made me ponder, I got a little bored (or maybe avoidant?) at the end. I did skim the last half of it, but eschatology isn’t high on my desired list of knowledge at this time in my life. Maybe in the future I’d be more interested, but I think it just wasn’t the time and place for me to fully enjoy this at five stars, but I did enough for three!
Here is a quote I pondered about Heaven that I DID enjoy and I think everyone else will too:
“Right now someone in this world is praying for you. Someone else is putting a plan into motion that will help you some way ten, twenty, thirty years down the road. Another person is making a good choice today that will spare you suffering tomorrow. When you, in your resurrected body look into the Father’s eyes you will see that. You will see the people who blessed you, and you will see the people you blessed—the random strangers for whom someone on social media asked you to pray, the great-great-great grand children who exist because you said yes to one more baby, the loving wife and mother who didn’t die in a fiery wreck on the highway because you didn’t violate the speed limit. All these choices matter. Every one of them. And in heaven, you will see the fruit of them” (105).

I’m still opting for cremation...
A good discussion of death, permissible Catholic burial options, and eternal life and glory to come. I thought Dr. Hahn’s own personal preferences for a casket burial came across a little too strong and might have negatively tilted the narrative in some places. Otherwise, the historical and developmental facts of cremation and casket burial are both well represented in this book. Given my own interior formation regarding Catholic cremation and burial, a reading of this book from cover to cover, and a protracted examination of conscience, I did not find any new, compelling information in the book that would convince me to change to a casket burial. Should God grant me intercessory powers in assisting mortal men and women, I believe He can do it equally well through photographs, writings, articles of clothing, and yes, even through my buried ashes (safely interred in a Catholic cemetery). Thank you Dr. Hahn and Mrs. Stimpson Chapman for this work.

This book is pretty great! I would highly recommend it to any Christian interested in theology at many levels. I only gave it four stars because it is structured as if it is an argument against cremation, and the title doesn’t quite match that, although most of the content does. I drew quite a few insights from this book regarding ancient Israel, the future resurrection, and ploys to lead the faithful astray. This book is much needed at this juncture in history because the resurrection of the dead/body is seldom discussed and, sadly, is largely absent from Christian kerygmatic preaching despite being mentioned as an “elementary doctrine of Christ” in the letter to the Hebrews. Read this book! Give it to your Christian friends!

Great read.
Some things not explained as well as they could be.
Some things not included that could have been.
He uses the word "hope" in the postscript several times in the colloquial, non theological sense, which can water down what the virtue of hope really is.
(Personally I think the way we use the word in our everyday language is a shame, and I wish there were another word that we used instead).
Definitely recommend the read. There is a lot about cremation, but I found that interesting.
There is more to this book than cremation though! I love thinking about heaven, and what it will be like.
One last point. He says there's 100% certainty that we will die, but this is not true. Our Lord may come again before that happens.

A fantastic book about death and your body, by Dr. Scott Hahn. I’ve enjoyed every book that I’ve read from Dr. Hahn, but this is among my favorites. He discusses the Christian tradition of burial ceremonies, the history of cremation, and theology of the resurrection of all our bodies.
A fun fact I learned: Cremation was heavily promoted by Freemasons and Bolsheviks. But most interesting to me is that cremation was introduced at a World’s Fair, or Exposition. If you know anything about these Expositions (I.e. erasure of history events), you’ll find this very interesting.

Really good. Was anticipating this to be mostly about the physics and timeline of the resurrection of the body, and about the drawbacks of cremation. There was definitely coverage of the latter, but I'd say it was sufficient and compelling. The section about describing Heaven was really a blessing to read, and the epilogue has a great personal turn. Really good dynamic—yet detailed—work of literature.

A great reminder of the hope we have in Christ our Lord.
Dr. Hahn used Scripture and Church history and Tradition to encourage the faithful. The concept of 2 “lifes” - bios and zoe really helped me to better understand the spiritual state we live in. The regeneration of zoe through baptism and its continual regeneration through the Eucharist brings much needed clarity. I highly recommend this book.

I was deeply moved by Dr. Scott Hahn's interpretation of heaven being 'The Greatest Story Ever Told & The Greatest Dance Ever Danced'. It is beautiful to think of all of our life stories being connected and to one day realize how the choices we made strengthened or encouraged others on their life journeys.

I read this book following the death of my father and it's brought me a lot of comfort and hope. I would recommend this book to anyone regardless of where you're at in life. Dr. Hahn has given me a lot to think about regarding this difficult topic, and I'm much more hopeful about moving forward in faith during this difficult chapter of my life.
August 24, 2020
An excellent, very accessible book about death, one of the four last things. Dr. Hahn has a gift in that he is able to explain a topic in depth while making it very understandable at the same time. He does a wonderful job of explaining the value of the body and why death should be viewed with hope, not fear.

A short read focusing on the Catholic perspective on death, the human body, final judgement, and the ultimate beauty that awaits. There were sections I really enjoyed - specifically on the splendor of heaven and what one might expect. Unfortunately, even with such a short text, I felt getting to that section seemed a long time coming.
May 25, 2020
I love Scott Hahn books. I love his style of writing. Easy to read , intelligent, informative and educational. I learned a lot that I never knew about the Catholic beliefs regarding our resurrection. I highly recommend this book.
May 29, 2020
A must read for everyone, Christian's and non-Christians. Dr. Hahn in an easy to read way shows how the early Fathers of the Church and the first Christian's thought about death - and how we should follow their lead

Written for our times.
Have changed my will from cremation to burial of the body, not because I have to but because it is the fitting thing to do in honor of God's creation, the temple of the Holy Spirit and the home of Jesus Christ.

This is a short but powerful book that explains the teaching of the Catholic Church on death and what happens after death. Scott Hahn presents the information on a level that the average person can understand.
Please put this book on your reading list.
