Reflections on a Dying Life

Reflections on a Dying Life is an eminently accessible and deeply pastoral book of Christian eschatology. Father Burt uses his masterful knowledge of St. Augustine's writings to create a classically Catholic spirituality of aging. Integrating a deep faith with his disciplined reason, he gently, lovingly sculpts an Augustinian spirituality of death and resurrection. Every page brims with the humor and pathos, with the irony and insight that distinguish all of Burt's writings as precious resources for contemporary believers and thinkers. --Joseph T. Kelley, Merrimack College
